Contents:

A tale of two authors -- A many-faceted "imaging" -- More than calisthenics -- Lessons from the philosophical "moderns" -- Commonalities in the public square -- Preaching civility -- Depravity: less than "total"? -- Our "direction-setting" -- Paying attention to context -- Reformed and evangelical -- When truth is distorted -- On being a "public intellectual" -- Interfaith engagements -- Of hymns and dialogues -- Concerns about the journey.

Subject: Richard Mouw, one of the most influential evangelical voices in America, has been on a lifelong "quest for commonness"--Engaging with others in a positive manner and advocating for a "convicted civility" when conversing with those with whom we disagree. Through nearly half a century of scholarship, leadership, and ministry, Mouw has sought to learn from non-Christian scholars and other faith traditions and to cultivate a civility that is compatible with his Calvinist convictions. In Adventures in Evangelical Civility, Mouw reflects on his almost fifty years of Christian public life, which provides a unique lens for understanding twentieth-century evangelicalism. He explores themes such as common grace, the imago Dei, and interfaith dialogue, offering a critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of what he has accomplished as a spokesperson for evangelical and Reformed perspectives.
