Abstract

82 Anglican Theological Review 103(1) Weaving rich storytelling, straightforward yet solid theological reflection, contempo- rary issues and pop culture, and an urgent call for personal discipleship, Lyons’s What Is Evangelism? is a golden nugget of a book. It is a must read for all who long to join in God’s work of love and healing already taking place in the world around us, which we are privileged to be invited into. LYDIA KELSEY BUCKLIN Diocese of Northern Michigan, Marquette, MI, USA The Goodness of Home: Human and Divine Love and the Making of the Self. By Natalia Marandiuc. AAR Academy Series.

This book beautifully fulfills its series’ intention of “signaling new directions in the field of Religious Studies.” Engaging a host of interlocutors, chief among them Charles Taylor, Søren Kierkegaard, and John Duns Scotus, Marandiuc describes an arc of divine love in the space between humans, for whom love attachments—both human and divine—cocreate the self.
