"Theology has lost its way because it has forgotten its purpose." For the Life of the World: Theology That Makes a Difference by Miroslav Volf and Matthew Croasmun (Brazos Press, 2019) http://bakerpublishinggroup.com/books/for-the-life-of-the-world/384270 The question of what makes life worth living is more vital now than ever. In today's pluralistic, postsecular world, universal values are dismissed as mere matters of private opinion, and the question of what constitutes flourishing life--for ourselves, our neighbors, and the planet as a whole--is neglected in our universities, our churches, and our culture at large. Although we increasingly have technology to do almost anything, we have little sense of what is truly worth accomplishing.
