Subversive Orthodoxy by Robert Inchausti
It may seem a surprising claim, but some of the most brilliant and original critics of modernity have been shaped by Christianity. In "Subversive Orthodoxy", Robert Inchausti maps out a tradition of twentieth century thinkers - including philosophers, activists, and novelists - whose "unique contributions to secular thought derive from their Christian worldviews." Inchausti revisits the lives and work of a stunning array of well-known Christian thinkers as well as figures not often thought of as Christian. From Walker Percy to Dorothy Day, Jacques Ellul to Marshall McLuhan, Inchausti offers a fascinating who's who of what he calls the "orthodox avant-garde." "Subversive Orthodoxy" will be an informative and encouraging read for pastors, laypeople, and students concerned about the Christian response to secular ideologies.
Robert Inchausti is professor of English at California Polytechnic State University. His previous books include The Ignorant Perfection of Ordinary People and Thomas Merton's American Prophecy. He also edited Seeds, a popular selection of Thomas Merton's writings. Inchausti received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
