Reviews

<br> Lane scores on every shot . . . In addition to rich quotes from others, Lane offers his own memorable thoughts, his words elegant as brocade in color and texture, scholarly but never stultifying. --Publishers Weekly<br><p><br> I love this book--a serious work of theology whose language celebrates and mediates the ravishing beauty of a world shot through with the glory of God. --Marcus Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity and Speaking Christian<p><br> Belden Lane has provided a contemporary spiritual theology perfectly suited to the restless longings of our consumer culture. Rereading Calvin and Edwards, he finds neglected (and surprising) resources in the Reformed tradition for seeing creation as a rich and wild theater of fulfilled desires. In the process he teaches the reader to share creation's passionate and conflicted yearning for God, and to join its praise of God's loveliness. --William Dyrness, Professor of Theology and Culture, Fuller Theological Seminary <br><p><br>
