Review
Robert Jenson begins these essays with art and architecture and ends
with the Eucharist. Along the way he touches almost every
question thoughtful Christians have pondered these last three
decades, from church and society to the doctrine of the Trinity to
the mass media. This is a wise book, profound and earthy on
human matters, yet sophisticated on theological ones. Jenson

analytic thinker who loves the arts. He recognizes a good
argument, yet he speaks from experience. In this book he
wrotes with conviction and style about real questions -- the kind we
wonder about when we are in conversation only with ourselves.

calling of Christians to learn to love God with the mind.
