Religious No More

""This is biblical theology at its best: timely, integrative, liberating.""

Richard B. Hays, Professor of New Testament, The Divinity School, Duke University

""Potent for both its prophetic challenge and its pastoral encouragement toward the transformation of evangelical faith and life. Do we have ears to hear?""

Joel B. Green, Associate Dean of the School of Theology and Professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary

""Baker's powerful book explores the complex dynamic between the apostolic message in its original setting, the community that hears and reads it in scriptural form and the evangelist or preacher who interprets it by word and deed in the present situation. This is no abstract study in hermeneutical theory but rather an engaging instance of a living encounter with the divine Word in all its concreteness.""

Geoffrey Wainwright, Cushman Professor of Christian Theology, Duke University

""One of the first significant steps to build on and weave together liberation concerns, serious biblical exploration, and evangelical theology. Baker has written a book that will become seminal for . . . scholars interested in contextual, biblical, and theological studies.""

Willie James Jennings, Associate Dean of Academic Programs, Research Professor of Systematic Theology and Black Church Studies, The Divinity School, Duke University

Mark Baker's 'Religious No More' is a sheer delight. Approachable, easy to read . . . passionately showing us a vision of what the church can be, it is a refreshing sight indeed.
