Radical Gifts allows the reader to encounter contemporary society, economics, politics, education, the environment, and human ethics through the categories of classical Christianity revealed in a presentation that is revolutionary and transformative. The journey orchestrated by Gene Marshall is not abstract, intellectual, or lost in scholarly clouds. Rather, this deeply personal journey produces an intensity of living born of the encounter with absolute fear and ultimate fascination. You will not escape Radical Gifts unchallenged or unchanged -- Michael D May, Interior Mythos Journey We are in a time in history when transformation is happening. This transformation is creating immense upheavals in many aspects of our lives. As we self-consciously stand in the midst of this upheaval and attempt to intentionally move toward our transformed future, this articulation of the Radical Gifts offers insights into our history and our future which will allow our human spirit to continue to thrive in harmony with the radical reality we are living. -- Leroy Philbrook

Author Information

Gene W. Marshall began his education as a mathematician and physicist. In 1953, he decided to leave a mathematics career and attend seminary at Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, Texas. He has served as a local church pastor, a chaplain in the army, and in 1962 joined a religious order of families (the Order: Ecumenical), and travelled the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, India, Hong Kong, and Australia teaching and lecturing on religious and social ethics topics. These trips included an in-depth study of world cultures and a vivid sense of the social conditions of the world's peoples. He was an active participant in the Civil Rights revolution, serving for one year as the Protestant executive of The National Conference on Religion and Race. For six years he served as dean of an eight-week residential academy that trained leadership personnel for religious and social engagement work throughout the world. In 1984, he and his wife, Joyce Marshall, organized a nonprofit educational organization, Realistic Living, and began publishing journals, books, and essays. The couple were also organizers of bioregionalism, a geographically sensitive form of ecological realism, radical feminism, and interreligious sensibilities.
