Uncommon Unity: Wisdom for the Church in an Age of DivisionOur world is facing increasing hostilities. Political and cultural differences rage, even among people who otherwise show goodwill. And the church is no stranger to extreme polarization, theological backbiting, and political squabbling. Jesuss prayer in John 17that the church be one as he and the Father are oneseems increasingly unattainable. But what if Scripture actually provides the key for thinking about unity in diversity? In Uncommon Unity:

Our world is facing increasing hostilities. Political and cultural differences rage, even among people who otherwise show goodwill. And the church is no stranger to extreme polarization, theological backbiting, and political squabbling. Jesus’s prayer in John 17—that the church be one as he and the Father are one—seems increasingly unattainable. But what if Scripture actually provides the key for thinking about unity in diversity? In Uncommon Unity: Wisdom for the Church in an Age of Division, Richard Lints explores the nature of diversity and how Christians can think more clearly about unity in an increasingly polarized age. Drawing on theological, historical, and sociological resources, Lints exposes problems with the inclusion narrative of democracy and shows a better way forward for fostering unity in the midst of extreme diversity. If we are to think rightly about diversity, wisdom is required for the church in our late modern world. Through wisdom, Christians can display real unity in diversity and bear witness of the God who made them for himself as diverse members of his one body. Readers of Uncommon Unity will be heartened that Scripture and Christian tradition provide an antidote to division.

______________

Richard Lints is senior consulting theologian, Redeemer City to City, New York City. He was formerly provost and Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Theology at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. He is the author of Progressive and Conservative Religious Ideologies, Identity and Idolatry, and The Fabric of Theology.

______________

‘Confident that Christ’s kingdom out-narrates the distorted narratives of our age, Lints nevertheless recognizes that how we envision, tell and practice that story is conditioned by other stories we often just assume. Identifying and analyzing these different takes on unity and diversity for many years, he at last shares the fruit of his labors! Diving beneath the tiresome and polarizing rhetoric of the culture wars, this book gives us deeply informed, well-considered and timely insights that we desperately need.’ Michael Horton, Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

Simply Superb and Fascinating (at least to me)
Format: Paperback
While some may find this book boring, I find it fascinating. Professor Hudson is not only a brilliant writer, he is a mind blowing researcher who references everything. I have become fascinated with things like the USA lend-lease program that the USA implemented in World War 2 and how it damaged Europe, Britain in particular. Hudson covers this in detail. My personal study of economics for years has focused on John Maynard Keynes vs. the "Austrian/Von Mises" school and their so called "free markets." Professor Hudson, who anyone who has an interest in economics should get to know, is a TRUE "free market" supporter, a TRUE supporter of classical economics and offers a third and viable alternative to both Keynes and the "Austrian" school. VERY different and oh so fascinating. I will be buying more of Professor Hudson's books and recommend that you investigate the writings of Professor Hudson and also that of his friend and fellow economist, Professor Richard Wolff.

Best post 1900 historical reference book I've read.
Format: Paperback
Best historical reference book I've read - explains the rise of the US since 1900 at the expense of the rest of the world. War and trade is a business model the US has ruthlessly exploited - Hudson has recorded the ugly, callous methodology.

The paradigm of Dollar supremacy
Format: Paperback
Michael Hudson demonstrates how dollar dominance allows the U.S. to sustain trade deficits and fund overseas commitments by exporting its debt. This system gives the U.S. unique financial advantages, enabling it to shape global economic flows while minimizing domestic strain.
