What Has Happened to Post-Christian Canada
A dozen years ago, I was sitting in a suburban Vancouver church on a Saturday afternoon, waiting for my young sons' piano recital to start. I looked around the rented facility, new to me, and noticed an impressionistic painting of the crucifixion toward the front of the sanctuary
Putting God in God's Place
Should theology be a part of the Great Conversation of the modern university? Oxford and Cambridge employ theologians while in Australia theology is utterly unknown in any reputable secular university. Harvard, Yale, and Chicago maintain divinity schools while Princeton, Stanford, and the best public institutions in America keep theology resolutely on the margins-in student clubs and chaplaincies. Canadian universities present a widely varying sp…
A Public Faith—but for Everyone and Every Public
Miroslav Volf’s sets out a strong, good thesis about the freedom religious people ought to have to participate in public as fully themselves, as religious people. This thesis is in tension with the fact that some people seek to harm others, or to radically compromise public life itself, in the name of their religion. Along the way, Volf makes a number of points that seem puzzling, at least overstated, but perhaps even incoherent with other claims…
Religious Diversity, Secularization, and Postmodernity
Making the Best of It
What should be the Christian's attitude toward society? When so much of our contemporary culture is at odds with Christian beliefs and mores, it may seem that serious Christians now have only two choices: transform society completely according to Christian values or retreat into the cloister of sectarian fellowship. This book explores the history of the Christian encounter with society, the biblical record, and various theological models of cultu…
Why I Signed the Yale Response to “A Common Word”
Though important differences between Christianity and Islam were not explicated in ‘A Common Word’ and the Yale Response, the emphasis was commonality of belief as a basis for mutual respect and joint action for justice and peace. The documents therefore were truly political, meant to bridge the putative “clash of civilizations” in a civilized manner. Those who opposed the document should offer constructive alternatives to make shalom in this wor…

Popular Religion in America
The Historiography of Canadian Evangelicalism
Once in a while, an occasion turns out to be historic, historical, and historiographical. Such an occasion was the conference on the Canadian Evangelical Experience held at Queen's University at Kingston, Ontario, early in May 1995. This four-day conference devoted to the history of evangelicalism in Canada (thus "historical") was the first of its kind in this country, and marked the emergence of a critical mass of scholarship in this field (thus…
Canadian Evangelicalism in the Twentieth Century
This book complements current studies of Canadian evangelicalism in earlier periods and is informed by recent scholarship in Canadian, American, and British religion. It brings fresh insights to a field that is drawing increasing interest
Billy Graham and the nature of conversion
Billy Graham fait partie des plus celebres evangelistes de son temps. Les sociologues etudiant le phenomene de la conversion se sont penches sur son cas. L'A. considere qu'ils n'ont pas suffisamment tenu compte de sa comprehension personnelle de la conversion. Une analyse de sa conception conduit a une vue plus nuancee et plus complexe de la notion de conversion

Baptists in Canada 1760-1990
The Emergence of a Fellowship
When Canadians showed themselves off to the world at the international exposition at Montreal in 1967, Canadian Christianity presented itself in strikingly symbolic fashion.1In the ecumenical spirit flourishing at the time, Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox churches-which together represented the vast majority of Canadians-jointly sponsored a pavilion. In the experimental and critical spirit also flourishing at the time, the pavilion offer…
