From deputy editor Bonnie Kristian: Book reviews are unlike any other kind of writing and in some ways seem like an impossible task: How can you possibly explain and assess an entire book in so short a space? |
|
Yet reviews also have a certain predictability which I appreciate. In every review, no matter the upshot, I have essentially the same task: I want to make sure the reader comes away with a fair understanding of the book’s subject, arguments, and aims—plus a clear sense of whether the work succeeds on its own terms. |
|
With a negative review, like my piece today, fairness is my utmost concern. The cardinal sin of reviewing is to criticize the writer for not writing a different book entirely. Beyond that, I want to be frank and specific but never mean. As another editor once said to me, no microaggressions, only macroaggressions. That means not nitpicking on matters of taste and always remembering that the book’s author will likely read what I write. |

Do you ever feel like you’re living with a quiet ache? In the midst of careers, families, responsibilities, and commitments, many of us feel disconnected — from God, from others, and even from ourselves. We know that Jesus promises an abundant life full of depth and freedom, but how do we find it? |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
