[Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This collection of essays is a great gathering of many different faiths to talk about some of the basics of Christian faith in post-modern culture. All share the belief that the way forward can be found by looking back; back to our heritage, back to our formation, back to our tradition, back to our historical relationship with God. As with any collection, I though some stood out while others were not worth reading. A couple essays near the end were so specific to United Methodists, that I didn't see the necessity of their inclusion. But, those few essays were still seemingly well written from an outsider perspective. All in all, a refreshing dose of Orthodox Christianity in the sea of recent books.
