Launched in 1986, Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity, has become a highly-respected forum for Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians. It was founded to provide a place where Christians of various backgrounds can speak on the basis of shared beliefs in the fundamental doctrines of the faith as revealed in Holy Scripture and summarized in theancient creeds of the Church. To the confusion of voices in the world on matters of order in religious, social, and cultural life, Touchstone speaks with a unified voice of that which, manifest in creation and divine revelation, flows from the life of God himself. This collection of eighteen articles published in Touchstone between 1998 and 2011 is our second anthology.The first anthology of Touchstone essays, Creed & Culture: A Touchstone Reader, was published in 2003 by ISI Books, an imprint ofthe Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Wilmington, Delaware, and is available from the Fellowship of St. James (www.fsj.org).

In 1951, theologian H. Richard Niebuhr published Christ and Culture, a hugely influential book that set the agenda for the church and cultural engagement for the next several decades. But Niebuhr's model was devised in and for a predominantly Christian cultural setting. How do we best understand the church and its writers in a world that is less and less Christian? Craig Carter critiques Niebuhr's still pervasive models and proposes a typology better suited to mission after Christendom.

Where should God be in thinking about society, or society in thinking about God? This book shows how philosophy can help non-philosophers with these questions. It shows that intelligence is the product, not the source, of society and language, and the rationality of individuals is inevitably conditioned by the distinctive customs and beliefs of their societies. Addressing the idea that religion can impede the smooth running of society, it argues that the Western concept of religion is taken from Christianity and cannot usefully be extended to non-European cultures. But any society will be threatened by a sub-society with customs conflicting with those of the whole in which it exists, and Jews, Christians and Muslims have sometimes formed such sub-societies. Charlton proceeds to consider how our dependence upon society fits with traditional beliefs about creation, salvation and life after death, and offers a synthesis that is new without being unorthodox. He indicates where Christian customs concerning birth, death, sex and education conflict with those of secular liberalism and considers which culture, Christian or secular liberal, has the better chance of prevailing in a globalised world.

First published in 1877, Creed and Deed is a collection of lectures by Felix Adler, the founder of the Ethical Culture movement. In these compelling talks, Adler explores the links between personal morality, social justice, and human flourishing. Drawing on a wide range of philosophical and religious traditions, he argues that living a meaningful and fulfilling life requires both inner conviction and outward action, and that ethical principles should guide our relationships with others as well as our own personal choices. This book is a timeless classic of ethical philosophy that remains relevant and inspiring today.
