Jordan Ballor

I am a theologian living in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Read my latest:

Ecumenical Babel: Confusing Economic Ideology and the Church's Social Witness

Reviews of Ecumenical Babel  

Viola Larson, Naming His Grace, "...dense, filled with clear thinking, biblical and confessional concern and a multitude of resources."

John H. Armstrong, ACT 3, "... a truly readable and wonderful book. All who love Christian unity centered in the witness of the church and the gospel of Christ will benefit from this fine new book."

Robert Joustra, Comment, "Isn't it ironic that the ecclesial conversation is essentially a thinly-baptized version of exactly the same disagreements in the secular world, but with less technical capacity and more theological abstraction? This is Ballor's most important point."

Ross Emmett, Love.Babel.Mammon, "Those concerned about the role of the church in the world today can learn a lot by reading and reflecting on Ballor’s excellent critique of the ecumenical movement’s political economy."

Thomas Sieger Derr, Journal of Markets & Morality, "...Ramsey redivivus..."

Joseph Sunde, Remnant Culture, "From explaining the errors of zero-sum thinking to the subtle materialism of neo-Marxist ideology, Ballor exhibits an impressive ability to cut through frivolous fluff and expose economic fallacies and spiritual distortions."

Steven McMullen, Calvin Theological Journal, "...Jordan Ballor's book is timely and his analysis helpful."
