One reason I wrote Broken Hallelujahs was to offer a theology of culture that sees--expects!--God's redeeming presence already at work in the world. Pop culture is not God-forsaken despite the 'constricted imagination' present in some corners of Christian which would say it is.

The Image Journal, a wonderful space for the conversation between faith and the arts, has posted a short summary of Broken Hallelujahs on their ImageUpdate website.

The truth is that I'm grateful that Broken Hallelujahs was reviewed at all in the "Christian Booksellers Association Retailers-Resources" magazine.

I said in my post yesterday that I'm on research leave and would try to think out loud a bit about the interconnected projects I'm working on in this blog space. Yesterday, I wrote about the practical reason aspect of my research and writing. A further aspect of that, in a way, is writing about ethnographic research as theology.
