Into the Dark: Seeing the Sacred in the Top Films of the 21st Century (Cultural Exegesis):
"Anyone who brings the great theologian Jurgen Moltmann in conversation with film is alright in my book. Detweiler deftly explores a variety of films, bringing them into conversation not only with theologians, but with the scriptures, current events i"

"If you're a gamer and you've already thought about how gaming relates to faith, this book will probably not contain much new information. If you haven't, it might start the ball rolling, but there may be better ways to get at this information.

“Bigger, louder, and faster don’t necessarily create deeper disciples.”
― iGods: How Technology Shapes Our Spiritual and Social Lives
― iGods: How Technology Shapes Our Spiritual and Social Lives
“Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann laments, We who are now the richest nation are today’s main coveters. We never feel that we have enough; we have to have more and more, and this insatiable desire destroys us. Whether we are liberal or conservative Christians, we must confess that the central problem of our lives is that we are torn apart by the conflict between our attraction to the good news of God’s abundance and the power of our belief in scarcity—a belief that makes us greedy, mean and unneighborly. We spend our lives trying to sort out that ambiguity.”
