To-read.

Based on Andy Crouch's review in Books and Culture, I'm putting James Davison Hunter's To Change the World on my to-read list. (Also, Books and Culture is on my to-subscribe list.) Hunter, apparently, is calling for Evangelical Christians to aim at “faithful presence” — which is to say, “fully participating in every structure of culture as deeply formed Christians who also participate in the alternative community of the church.” — rather than actively political culture-capturing.

And I'll be curious to re-read Chuck Colson's quite reasonable defense of his work with Prison Fellowship after I've read Hunter's book, to see how close Hunter really is to what Colson calls “quietism.”
