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 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.

The MARS HILL AUDIO Journal is an "audio magazine" featuring ninety minutes of conversation on each bimonthly CD or MP3 edition.
Guests on the current issue (Volume 100) include: Jennifer Burns, on the life and legacy of Ayn Rand, "goddess of the market" and entrenched enemy of altruism; Christian Smith, on the aimless cultural world of "emerging adulthood" and on how it makes the idea of objective moral order implausible; and Dallas Willard, on why it's important to recover the conviction that religious beliefs involve real knowledge. In honor of the five score milestone, part two of the issue features a look back at the beginnings of the Journal and a few special excerpts of conversations with those early guests, including Peter Kreeft, on Lewis, Huxley, & J.F.K. after death; P. D. James, on good and evil in fiction; James Davison Hunter, on culture wars; Paul McHugh, on when psychiatry loses its way; Ted Prescott, on nudity in art and advertising; Ed Knippers, on the powerful presence of the body; Martha Bayles, on pop & perverse modernism; Dominic Aquila, on Christopher Lasch; Gilbert Meilaender, on random kindness; Neil Postman, on technology and culture; and Alan Jacobs, on being maudlin in Madison County.
