John Stackhouse is extraordinarily gifted at making important, and even esoteric, developments in philosophy and theology accessible to the general public.
His insights are penetrating and, often, surprising.
And as a theological critic of trends in contemporary society, he has no peer.

Blessed are the shalom-makers
God calls us to make shalom. Shalom is flourishing, maturation, the realization of potential.
God put human beings in charge of the creation in Genesis 1. And our primary vocation is to take what God gives us to produce new and better, while guarding and maintaining the best of what has been. We can’t expect everything we attempt to turn out properly, but we do the best we can to maximize shalom.
Christians, furthermore, are called by our Lord Jesus to make disciples (Matthew 28). So whenever we can, however we can, Christians endeavour to grow up into maturity, to help each other grow up into maturity, and to welcome new friends to join us in growing up into maturity.
ThinkBetter Media offers resources to help serious Christians maximize shalom in every situation. We hope you’ll join us.
