- Abstract
This document is a collection of book reviews from the journal "Reviews in Religion & Theology." The first review discusses a book on the prosperity gospel and criticizes the author for not making a strong biblical case for their argument. The reviewer shares their experience as a hospice chaplain during the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting the lack of beauty in their work but emphasizing the importance of discipleship. The second review introduces a book on reading scripture from a cognitive stylistics perspective, praising its fresh approach and providing an overview of its contents. The third review focuses on a book about the Index of Prohibited Books, highlighting its comprehensive coverage and shedding light on the complexities and limitations of book banning by the Roman Catholic Church.
