May 10, 2024 Josh Olds Comments Off on Reviving the Ancient Faith: The Story of Churches of Christ in America – Richard T. Hughes and James L. Gorman

I grew up in the Church of Christ, but never really got into its history. The independent nature of the denomination (to the point some still wince at it being called that) means that the […]

March 22, 2024 Josh Olds Comments Off on A Faith of Many Rooms – Debie Thomas

December 18, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on bell hooks’ Spiritual Vision – Nadra Nittle

October 3, 2023 Bethany Davidson Comments Off on Being Elisabeth Elliot: The Authorized Biography: Elisabeth’s Later Years – Ellen Vaughn

Oral Roberts and the Rise of the Prosperity Gospel – Jonathan Roots

August 18, 2023 Josh Olds Comments Off on Oral Roberts and the Rise of the Prosperity Gospel – Jonathan Roots

Oral Roberts is probably one of the most overlooked and understudied figures in American evangelicalism. His legacy—particularly within Tulsa, Oklahoma—is as big as his personality. Not quite as irenic as Billy Graham, not quite as […]
