Description: Theological essays are dusty, humourless affairs aren’t they? Well, they don’t have to be! This is the second collection of essays by Carl Trueman. His first collection was received with great enthusiasm. On the radar this time are postmodern evangelicals, Chick Lit and Roman Catholicism, Adolf Eichman and the i-pod, Roger Beckwith, gay marriage, Carl Henry, ferret breeding on Watership Down (!), American Idol, Nietzsche, Zen-Calvinism, Augustine and 'A Good Creed seldom goes unpunished'.

If you want to reflect on real contemporary issues from a biblical perspective--and chuckle at the same time--Carl’s your man!

"There is a growing company of Presbyterian prophets writing these days, but Carl Trueman is the only one who is clearly enjoying himself. Minority Report is a heady blend--at its most playful when in dead earnest, effortlessly displaying its street cred when dismissing popular culture, and invaluably thought-provoking when probably wrongheaded. This is a learned, urbane, witty, and timely book in the service of orthodox Protestant thought."
 --Timothy Larsen, McManis Professor of Christian Thought, Wheaton College

"…shows the author as a master wordsmith… It will challenge, stimulate, inform and teach. It confirms Trueman's place as one of contemporary evangelicalism's most dynamic young theologians."
--Iain D. Campbell, Back Free Church, Isle of Lewis, Scotland

"…affirms the historic evangelical faith with great force, clarity and excellent judgement."
--Paul Helm, Emeritus Professor, University of London

"His brilliant caricatures and asides do not detract from his careful thought but demonstrate a wisdom and clarity much needed today. You will be entertained and educated."
--A. T. B. McGowan, Principal, Highland Theological College

"I cannot think of a young evangelical writer and theologian whose works I more eagerly read."
--Mark Dever

"The wit of an evangelical Chesterton, prophetic insight of Francis Schaeffer and the accessibility of John Stott."
--Melvin Tinker, St. John, Hull, England
