"In a troubled and deeply divided polity, Christians face daily temptations to abandon public life and forsake the general culture; yet, discipleship requires bringing the light of Christ into the world.  But how?  The essays in Mutual Treasures: Seeking Better Ways for Christians and Culture to Converse show us concrete ways in which Christians can authentically engage the culture without resorting to simple condemnation, on the one hand, or succumbing to compromise, on the other. Heie's and King’s collection challenges us to think creatively about the demands of discipleship in a divided world.  Believers working in every quarter of the culture will be in their debt."
—Jeanne Heffernan Schindler, Assistant Professor, Department of Humanities, Villanova University

"The writers of these essays not only model an appropriate spirit of cultural engagement. They also teach us some important things about the specific areas they address. Even more important, they teach us what it can be like to learn from others—including people with whom we disagree on some basic issues of life."
—Richard Mouw, President, Fuller Theological Seminary, in the Foreword

"Representing a variety of theological streams within the larger evangelical family, the authors provide practical suggestions for engaging our culture in dialogue about some of the most challenging issues we face. We can learn much from their stories of meaningful interaction with those who hold differing points of view."
—Loren Swartzendruber, President, Eastern Mennonite University

"Harold Heie, Michael King, and their collaborators have produced a book that advances the project of Christian learning in distinctive ways. Its contributors speak with authority; they link practice with principle creatively; they are seeking out new paths for linking faith and scholarship. The book deserves careful attention—read it and think!"
—Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame

The editors do not just argue that Christians can be more effective agents of redemption by respectful dialogue than by aggressive confrontation; they present eight highly diverse and imaginative case studies in which this actually happened. It's a timely and very important contribution."
—Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology, Yale University

"In an era in which biting partisanship has come to characterize what passes for public discourse, the contributors to Mutual Treasure offer a very different, irenic model. This is an instructive, inspiring book; the approaches offered here are eminently worthy of emulation."
—Randall Balmer, Professor of American Religious History at Barnard College, Columbia University, and Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church, Washington, Connecticut
