Remembering the Future is a collection of poems, essays, and interviews that ask readers to see their world with double-vision-to imagine the redemptive consequences of engaging the world with a fastidious awareness of both the biblical tradition and the cultural moment. Remembering the Future is gathered from the first years of The Other Journal, an online quarterly positioned at the intersection of theology and culture. The Other Journal examines theology with fresh eyes, probing faith with passion, authenticity, and creativity; and this anthology represents the highlights of that endeavor, including content from some of the most important voices in the field of theology today. Remembering the Future offers readers an engaging, thought-provoking picture of what sound theological thinking can and must offer today''s Christians giving witness to Christ in our contemporary cultural landscape.

The Other Journal is a space for Christian interdisciplinary theological reflection that tackles the cultural crises of our time with verve and peculiar slant, advancing a progressive, provocative, and charitable response in sync with the peacefully contrarian Christ. In this issue, we address the theme of health by reading of a spouse who is emptied into the relentless repetition of caring for a dying husband. We meet parents who wrestle with what it means to birth children and watch them grow. And we learn that physical, mental, and spiritual health requires lending a hand to our fellow travelers just as Jesus extended his hands to us. Our health issue features prose by Lucy Bryan, Jason Byassee, Michael Dean Clark, Dave de la Fuente, Lauren Frances Evans, Elizabeth Felicetti, Jonathan Hiskes, Rachel Pieh Jones, Jennifer Lamson-Scribner, Daniel Rempel, Kate Roberts, Jonathan Tran, Mark C. Watney, and Rita Willett; poetry by Susan Carlson, Judith H. Montgomery, and Angela Alaimo O'Donnell; linocut prints by Kate Roberts; and mixed media by Lauren Frances Evans.

In this pertinent and engaging volume leading Christian philosophers, theologians, and writers from all over the denominational map explode the black-and-white binaries that characterize both sides of the New Atheism debate. They transcend the self-assured shouting matches of this latest expression of the culture wars by engaging in rigorous, polychromatic Christian reflection that considers the extent to which the atheistic critique-both new and old-might help the church move toward a more mature faith, authentic spirituality, charitable witness, and peaceable practice. With generous openness and ferocious wit, this collection of essays, interviews, memoir, poetry, and visual art-including contributions from leading intellectuals, activists, and artists such as Stanley Hauerwas, Charles Taylor, John Milbank, Stanley Fish, Luci Shaw, Paul Roorda, Merold Westphal, and D. Stephen Long-provides substantive analysis, incisive critique, and a hopeful way forward for Christian dialog with atheist voices.

THE OTHER JOURNAL: EVILDescriptionThis world is a fallen place rife with suffering, oppression, and violence, a land of tsunamis and earthquakes, genocide and crime sprees.

In issue #20 of The Other Journal, our contributors analyze the haunting opacity of evil and call us to name and resist its insidious influence.The issue features essays and reviews by Brian Bantum, Gregory A. Boyd, Andrew W. E. Carlson, Jacob H. Friesenhahn, David Kline, Agustin Maes, Rebecca Martin, Branson Parler, Anthony B. Pinn, Dan Rhodes, and Lauren Wilford; interviews by Allison Backous, Brandy Daniels, Chris Keller, Ronald A. Kuipers, and David Kline with Richard Beck, J. Kameron Carter, Richard Kearney, C.
