The Future of Christian Realism achieves two worthy goals. First, it is a careful and thorough explication of the current status of Christian realism. This book, both by content and authors, shows its global reach as well its ability to address ‘new realities.’ Second, it is a celebration of its leading theological advocate, Robin Lovin. Certain terms emerge that explain him and his work well: judicious, non-defensive, charitable, and generous are just a few. Under Lovin’s thoughtful guidance, Christian realism still has much to teach us, making this work essential reading for anyone concerned with Christian ethics.
