Rubicon Books

theRubicon is pleased to announce the creation of Rubicon Books, the book publishing arm of our online journal. Rubicon Books provides the opportunity for authors who are in some way connected with theRubicon, to publish longer and more substantive works than what we are able to run online. The great Jewish theologian, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once said: “In Biblical days prophets were astir while the world was asleep; today the world is astir while church and synagogue are busy with trivialities”. It is our hope that the launch of Rubicon Books will further stir serious things up!

theRubicon is maintained by Christians with roots in The Salvation Army, although readers, writers and participants from other traditions are not only welcome, but encouraged. It is a place for “doers”, who have learned of the need to think deeply, rigorously and critically about what they do and why they do it. “Contemplative activists,” is one term, “field theologians” might be more accurate. theRubicon is based on exchange and participation, initiated by thoughtful and well-written contributions from contributors around the world, as well as featured speakers through our podcasting section entitled Areopagus. As we see it, Rubicon Books is the next logical step in our journey.

Our first four books are advertised below, along with ordering information. We do not yet have a centralized ordering address as each author is an independent member of theRubicon network, however we are working on creating an online ordering system. In the meantime, ordering information for each book is available after the click-through on the title below.
