MARS HILL AUDIO is committed to assisting Christians who desire to move from thoughtless consumption of contemporary culture to a vantage point of thoughtful engagement. We believe that fulfilling the commands to love God and neighbor requires that we pay careful attention to the neighborhood: that is, every sphere of human life where God is either glorified or despised, where neighbors are either edified or undermined.

The MARS HILL AUDIO Journal is an "audio magazine" featuring over ninety minutes of conversation on each bimonthly CD or MP3 edition. The MP3 edition is available now and the CD editions should arrive in mailboxes by the end of July.
Guests on the current issue (Volume 102) include: Daniel M. Bell, Jr., on recovering the view that the just war tradition is more about the shaping of character and virtue than a checklist for political leaders; Lew Daly, on how the discussion concerning faith-based initiatives raised larger issues about the identity of social groups in American society; Adam K. Webb, on whether the traditional personal and communal virtues in premodern village life must be abandoned for poverty to be alleviated; Stratford Caldecott, on how denying the reality of beauty is linked to a denial of the coherent meaning of Creation; James Matthew Wilson, on Jacques Maritain's pilgrimage to faith and his subsequent development of a rich philosophy of beauty; and Thomas Hibbs, on the similar projects of painters Georges Rouault (1871-1958) and Makoto Fujimura (b. 1960), and how they each resisted various confusions in modern art.

The Making of Many Books May Have
an End after All
At least in the lives of many Americans, books in particular and reading in general is on the decline. We think this is not a good thing (and not just because our business involves the recommending of books). We think that Christian leaders in churches, schools, and parachurch organizations should recognize this as a challenge to be confronted confidently, not a condition to be met with acquiescence and accommodation. Indifference to aliteracy is not a good way to love our neighbors. In an effort to encourage like-minded advocates of reading, we've produced a new audio Anthology, "On Books and Reading." This program (on CD or downloadable MP3) features extracts from interviews from volumes 13, 90, and 94 of the Journal, as well as previously unheard "outtakes" from earlier interviews. Read more about this Anthology here.
