Religious ethics; Christianity; Christian theology

Written for beginning seminary students, this interdisciplinary study argues that recent advances in the social and cognitive sciences demonstrate that knowing involves not only our physical bodies but also our tools, our communities, and our social institutions. As important as these discoveries are for understanding general cognition, they are even more important for understanding the nature of faith. The Bible is rich with metaphors that emphasize the living church as a source of wisdom and spiritual depth. We always need other Christians if our faith is to be both rich and deep. We are like groves of aspen trees--individual trees that are connected at the roots.

Reviews for Connected at the Roots

""There are a number of skills that contemporary Christians in the West need to develop, but I cannot think of a more urgent one than critical thought. As a particularly able teacher in this respect, Jerry Camery-Hoggatt's Connected at the Roots provides Christians with a set of tools for understanding more deeply how our minds (and the minds of others) work. In doing so, he introduces the reader to a second, and perhaps even more important, skill for persons living in late modern society: empathy. I highly recommend it."" --Kutter Callaway, associate dean, Center for Advanced Theological Studies, Fuller Seminary ""Living in the present is increasingly complex and challenging for leaders and institutions--many question whether we can hold together as a society. Jerry Camery-Hoggatt weaves together a tapestry--past and present--from multiple disciplines that helps us understand more fully who we are in these times. He helps us dig deeply into the root systems amidst rich soil that offers a hopeful grounding no matter what is shaking above the surface."" --Roger Heuser, professor of leadership studies, Vanguard University
