review 1: Simple overview of one man's journey across America looking at the reformed resurgence. This is not a theology text book, so don't read it like one (as lots of reviewers seem to be doing). Hansen is simply showing the type of characters involved in this movement and some of their background. That's it. Some challenging little nuggets throughout the book. It's an easy read and doesn't require too much brain power. Agreed, his subject matter seems to be from a small sliver of the vast cultural palate in the states. Would have liked to hear more from black/hispanic/asian church communities to be a true survey. But perhaps this resurgence is only found amongst specific people groups.
review 2: This is a thorough and insightful tour of contemporary Calvinism... more. Hansen interviews a variety of people from different backgrounds, and along the way he really fleshes out what Calvinism and Reformed theology are. The book suffers a bit when Hansen interjects his own explanations of Calvinism, as if he doesn't trust his subjects to adequately convince readers, but overall, this is an enjoyable and informative read. I highly recommend it. less
