    more than we imagine
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017*

As one of the evangelical movement’s most interesting and fruitful popularizers, Richard Mouw can almost be imagined rolling out of bed and dashing off an intriguing treatment of Isaiah’s sixtieth chapter, then placing it the next day in his readers’ hands. Such is the effervescent ease of his prose. Yet surely a book like this discloses instead years of reflection about what the Christian gospel has to say about God’s final purpose(s) with his world and how that ought to shape human conduct meanwhile.As a signal of his (and this world’s) destination, Mouw writes early on that …‘Isaiah 60 records a vision of a magnificent city. In it the prophet is speaking to the city, calling attention to various aspects of its appearance. His tone is joyful, his mood excited. This city is not like any other that he has seen among the products of human efforts at urbanization; it is a city built by God. Sometimes Isaiah addresses the city in the present tense; at other points he employs the language of future fulfillment. Though the city has not yet been established, he is certain that it will someday arrive. It is clearly a transformed city. Many of the people and objects from Isaiah’s own day appear within its walls, but they have assumed different roles, they perform new functions.’'Transformation' of what God has made and what has fallen from its intended purpose is a core feature of Mouw’s vision of history’s destiny. His argument broadens out beyond exposition of one chapter of an Old Testament book’s sixty-six to offer a richly traced counterproposal to skinny Christian views of human fulfillment as ‘dying and going to heaven’.  Mouw wants to know—as apparently did the Isaianic tradition—what will become of all of this, not just of me and of people who believe things like the ones I believe.The result, in this reader’s assessment, is a stirring vision in which all nations bring their best stuff, the cultural, religious and existential product to the beautification of a city that is resplendent in both beauty and justice.Mouw sees the walled but gates-flung-open city of Isaianic vision as something of a metaphor for this world when it has been duly refined, purged—again, transformed. It stands along more familiar descriptions of the same that travel under the title ‘new heavens and new earth’. The author avoids narrow definitions of ‘how things will be’ that fail to recognize the vivid power of imagistic description. Yet for all this Mouw never distances himself from the vision’s concreteness, whether in its beauty, its justice, its joyfulness, or its inclusion of surprising agents and elements.This delightfully readable book has retained its value since its genesis in the early 1970s and its revision at the onset of a new century. It deserves strong recommendation still, particularly to potential readers who are interested in Old Testament prophetic vision, biblical theology, missional eschatology, or hope in a context of hopelessness.

    Brief and helpful
  

*by T***  on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019*

This is a very important contribution to the conversation about mission and culture and God’s ultimate purpose in the world. I found this to be a really refreshing and important take on dynamics of eschatology in the kingdom of God that can easily be wrongly assumed. Namely, that there are aspects of our world and cultural expressions, that not only have value now, but will have redeemed ultimate value still to come. I recommend this book for anyone studying culture mission and theology. It is especially cool to see the book of Isaiah’s prophetic vision unpacked, so as to even get a glimpse from some of the inspiration that the book of Revelation had and it’s writing.

    A Must Read!
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018*

This book is a must read! I'm a bit biased since I did take Dr. Mouw's Christ & Culture class about a decade ago at Fuller Theological Seminary. It influenced my Christian worldview profoundly. This is one of those books that has a knack for presenting complicated concepts in a very simple and easily readable style without sacrificing the depth of the material.The heart of the book is an exposition of Isaiah 60 and the hopeful expectations of the prophet, not only for his people, but for the whole world. As many have noted, the Bible begins in a garden and ends in a city. And Isaiah 60 sits right in the middle of that developmental journey: the transformation of culture.
