Описание: On the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this issue of Plough Quarterly explores the reformation the church needs today.

This year's five-hundredth anniversary of the Reformation comes just as Christianity is undergoing what may prove to be its biggest recalibration since the fourth century. Christendom, the system in which Christianity shaped Western laws and society as the majority religion, has been shaky since the Enlightenment. Now it's in its death throes, felled by secularization, consumerism, and the sexual revolution. For better or worse, Christians must learn to be a minority. There's no better time than now to recall Karl Barth's dictum: the church must always be reformed. What is the re-formed church we need now?

In this issue, George Weigel and Eberhard Arnold call the church to turn back to its sources and to seek renewal in the example of the first Christians, for whom Christianity was not just a Sunday religion or a private affair. It meant belonging to the fellowship of disciples, whose way of life was countercultural to that of the surrounding pagan society, as Rowan Williams points out. Today, Christians of all traditions are realizing that we are again called, in the words of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, to form a creative minority. Pastors Jin Kim and Claudio Oliver explore how to practice communal Christianity in different contexts, and Andreas Knapp and Cecile Massie document the vibrancy of the persecuted church in Syria and Turkey. Editor Peter Mommsen explores the legacy and triumph of the Radical Reformation.

Also in this issue:

• Reviews of Ben Sasse's The Vanishing American Adult, Alan Kreider's The Patient Ferment of the Early Church, Tobias Jones's A Place of Refuge, and Andrzej Franaszek's Milosz
• Poetry by Mary M. Brown
• Insights from early church leaders Ignatius, Hermas, and Polycarp
• An excerpt from Renegade, Plough's graphic novel on Martin Luther's life
• Art and photography by Daniel Bonnell, Jason Landsel, Randall M. Hasson, Rachel Wright, Arthur Brouthers, Andrea Grosso Ciponte, Olivia Clifton-Bligh, Malcolm Coils, Cecile Massie, Jader Gneiting, and Dean Mitchell

Plough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus' message into practice and find common cause with others.

Описание: The gospel teaches that every human is sacred. Refugee children and Islamist terrorists. Police officers and young African Americans. Unborn babies, always, and also abortionists. Orange-haired casino owners, former First Ladies, progressive hipsters, prosperity-gospel televangelists, members of Congress, Confederate-flag-waving white nationalists? Sacred. This absurd claim is at the heart of the gospel. Each person is created in the image and likeness of God. Each is someone for whom Jesus died. And if this is true, we have much work to do. The writers in this issue may not agree on the best ways and means, but each challenges us to consider the implications of this gospel of life that makes no exceptions.

Also in this issue:
-- A former asylum seeker returns to Iraq to stand with Christians on the run from ISIS.
-- Shane Claiborne tells us why abolishing the death penalty is the church's business.
-- Joel Salatin, America's most famous farmer, reveals what pigs can teach us about the glory of God.
-- John Dear reports on the Vatican's historic turn toward nonviolence.
-- Erna Albertz tells Richard Dawkins how her sister with Down syndrome can help him.
-- Gun owners respond to gun violence with a fresh take on "swords into plowshares."
-- Ron Sider looks at the consistently pro-life witness of the early church.
-- A hospice nurse reflects on euthanasia and the value of being a burden.
-- Jason Landsel asks what made MohammadMuhammad Ali great.

Then there's new poetry, book reviews, a children's story, insights from Pope Francis and George MacDonald, and art by Pawel Kuczynski, Xenia Hausner, William H. Johnson, K the Kollwitz, and Deidre Scherer.
