CrossCurrents connects the wisdom of the heart with the life of the mind and the experiences of the body. The journal is operated through its parent organization, the Association for Public Religion and Intellectual Life (APRIL), an interreligious network of academics, activists, artists, and community leaders seeking to engage the many ways religion meets the public. Contributions to the journal exist at the nexus of religion, education, the arts, and social justice.

Explores the encounter between Jewish and Christian thought and the fact-value divide that invites the unsettling recognition of the dramatic acosmism that shadows and undermines a considerable number of modern and contemporary Jewish and Christian thought systems.

Offers a provocative view of relationship between human desire, production of knowledge, and conceptions of power by developing a nonpolemical account of divine law. This book presents a paradigm - altering power of a discourse in nexus between law and freedom. It demonstrates how this nexus catapults religious thought into a powerful engagement.
