Well, the post title is something to hope for. For consideration is a rough transcript of Stephen Said’s interview with Alan Hirsch, which talks about his next book, which will probably have “Dangerous Stories” somewhere in the title (via Si Johnston).

On the subject of Alan Hirsch and the writings thereof, Reggie McNeal’s The Present Future: Six tough questions for the Church seems to be along similar themes… the six questions are summarized by Dan Sheffield.

In a similar vein, see a scenario set out on Mike Todd’s blog (sources cited there) about “The Mediocre Emergency,” which though nobody’s too alarmed, it may be well-said, “Of course, it is an emergency. It’s a bigger emergency than the things you can buy insurance against, because it’s endemic, hard to measure and ultimately fatal.”
