Living at the Crossroads
早前Craig G. Bartholomew 及 Michael W. Goheen 合寫的The Drama of Scripture，是將NT Wright 在How Can The Bible Be Authoritative? 所提出，聖經作為一個包含5幕（他們之後修正為6幕）的故事，擴張和引伸的作品。我在「神與聖經」的主日學討論中，就是用The Drama of Scripture作為主要課本。
現在，他們再次合著：Living at the Crossroads: An Introduction to Christian Worldview。先看看撮要：
This engaging introduction to Christian worldview explores how Christians can live faithfully at the crossroads of Scripture and postmodern culture.
Ideal for undergraduate students and laypeople, Living at the Crossroads first lays out a brief summary of the biblical story and the most fundamental beliefs of Scripture. The book then tells the story of Western culture from the classical period to postmodernity. Authors Michael Goheen and Craig Bartholomew next analyze how Christians live in the tension that exists at the intersection of the biblical and cultural stories. They proceed to tease out the implications for key areas of life, such as education, scholarship, economics, politics, and church. The result is a deeply thoughtful yet approachable text that draws on the rich tradition of Reformational thinking but contextualizes it to a postmodern setting for a contemporary audience.
從內容看，此書將會是The Drama of Scripture 的續本，特別是補充在這個6幕劇中，我們身處的第5幕、第2場的內容。若然今日基督徒以前4幕為劇本，眼望著第6幕這故事的終局，那麼在我們在第5幕，應該怎樣演呢？The Drama of Scripture 的篇幅只能草草略過，我期待Living at the Crossroads 會有深入一點的討論。
Craig G. Bartholomew 和 Michael W. Goheen 都在加拿大作神學工作。前者是舊約學者，後者是宣教學者。
這書將於本年11月出版。
