Il Dr. O. Alan Noble è un assistente professore di inglese il cui lavoro si addentra nelle profondità della narrativa americana del XX secolo. La sua ricerca esplora le manifestazioni della trascendenza in F. Scott Fitzgerald, Carson McCullers, J.D. Salinger e Cormac McCarthy, attingendo alle idee di Charles Taylor sul secolarismo e sul sé come fondamento teorico. La scrittura di Noble affronta frequentemente le complesse questioni di fede e cultura nella società contemporanea. Le sue analisi letterarie sono incisive e offrono ai lettori una prospettiva fresca sull'intersezione di temi spirituali e secolari nella letteratura.
Modern life tells us that it's up to us to forge our own identities and to make our lives significant. But the Christian gospel offers a strikingly different vision-one that reframes the way we understand ourselves, our families, our society, and God. Contrasting these two visions of life, Alan Noble invites us into a better understanding of who we are and to whom we belong.
These two trends define life in Western society today. We are increasingly addicted to habits--and devices--that distract and "buffer" us from substantive reflection and deep engagement with the world. And we live in what Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor calls "a secular age"--An age in which all beliefs are equally viable and real transcendence is less and less plausible. Drawing on Taylor's work, Alan Noble describes how these realities shape our thinking and affect our daily lives. Too often Christians have acquiesced to these trends, and the result has been a church that struggles to disrupt the ingrained patterns of people's lives. But the gospel of Jesus is inherently disruptive: like a plow, it breaks up the hardened surface to expose the fertile earth below. In this book Noble lays out individual, ecclesial, and cultural practices that disrupt our society's deep-rooted assumptions and point beyond them to the transcendent grace and beauty of Jesus. Disruptive Witness casts a new vision for the evangelical imagination, calling us away from abstraction and cliché to a more faithful embodiment of the gospel for our day

For most people, sorrow, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. The burden of living comes down to mundane choices that we each must make—like the daily choice to get out of bed.
