“But while scholars are right to focus on the bond between Martin and Hans, the evidence of Martin’s own words suggests their relationship may not have been as troubled as some suppose.

"From creative storytelling (see any of Jesus’ parables) to hymn-singing to poetry slams, God’s revelation refuses the confines of any single genre. The world beyond the wardrobe demands some serious attention, and Christians are uniquely qualified to give it just that." -Luke Kjolhaug

Rod Rosenbladt’s Christ Alone is back, freshly typeset for a 2nd edition, with a new commendatory essay by Adam Francisco written in memory of his teacher and friend.
