Leonard E. Hjalmarson

An Emerging Dictionary for the Gospel and Culture: a Conversation from Augustine to Zizek Leonard E. Hjalmarson

Why not a roving, eclectic dictionary that is both ridiculously current and particular, and at the same time broadly inclusive, reaching back to Augustine and St. Benedict. Why not write the ABC's of the emerging missional conversation: this is Wishful Thinking (Buechner) meets A for Abductive (Sweet and McLaren) meets Soul Survivor (Yancey). And maybe there is just a touch of McLaren in A Generous Orthodoxy.

The rules are simple: no more than five entries per letter: names and personalities can occur on either side, attached to a definition or as referencing a word or concept. And while the overall interest is theological, the focus is life, not theory.

Leave your luggage behind, climb aboard and join a playful journey of exploration that will enrich, challenge, and bring a smile to your face.
