{"product_id":"9781451412796","title":"Blue Twilight","description":"  Gilkey's latest work takes the measure of the current American religious and cultural crisis, assesses recent theological responses to it, and shows how these illumine our understanding of the ongoing creationism controversy. Throughout, Gilkey articulates a faith-stance responsive to the contemporary world of radical pluralism and moral uncertainty—without retreating to simplistic dogmatism.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gilkey gauges the legacy of such key figures as Paul Tillich, Reinhold Niebuhr, and Karl Barth for our current situation. Long a crusader against creationism, \"creation science,\" and the Religious Right, Gilkey shows plainly how the latter is neither religious nor right but is symptomatic of larger unanswered challenges of modernity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Gilkey's vision of a \"blue twilight,\" in which light fights with dark in religion and culture, stands as a stark reminder of what is at stake in the future of American religious life. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Author Biography:\u003cbr\u003e Langdon Gilkey is Professor of Theology Emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School and author of more than a dozen books, including Shantung Compound (1966), Naming the Whirlwind (1969), Reaping the Whirlwind (1976), and Nature, Reality, and the Sacred (Fortress Press, 1993).\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augsburg Fortress, Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107220504816,"sku":"9781451412796","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451412796_p0.jpg?v=1763839370","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451412796","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
