On his sixth album, Palace Savant, Brooklyn producer Jonas Reinhardt (aka Jesse Reiner) undergoes a profound solo odyssey. The record may be the most spectacular realization of Jonas Reinhardt's outward-bound sonic aspirations. These eight tracks draw on 14th-century architect Peter Parler's breathtaking St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague. St. Vitus is a statement to the future by the rulers at the time, Reiner says. It's surreal, grandiose, psychedelic - and the sheer scale of human ambition involved is almost beyond comprehension. Parler reportedly deviated from the cathedral's initial blueprint and elevated the Gothic style to heretofore-unimagined, bizarre levels. With Palace Savant, Reiner projected Parler's handiwork into Thomas Edison's era of electricity. I envisioned [Parler] retrofitting his cathedral with excesses of incandescent light, preparing for a coming age of electronics. Palace Savant is what a contemporary electronic performance in that space might sound like. Recorded on tour and in New York over the course of a year and mixed at Transmitter Park Studio in Greenpoint, Palace Savant begins with the instant attention-grabber/pulse-accelerator Old Kaizen. At once claustrophobic and spacious, it possesses an urgent, chase-scene synth throb that would make John Carpenter or Bernard Fevre jealous. The turbulent Shattered Remains of Orr sounds like Edgar Froese's kosmische-ambient masterpiece Aqua (1974) tossed into shark-infested waters. On Androma, Reiner's expertly-modulated arpeggios contrast low and high frequencies, revealing his ability to create suspense with a chiaroscuro of whirs and pulsations. Palace Savant achieves two towering peaks. The first is Go Sceptre Go, a swiftly-moving, heavenly droner that veers off on a tangent into a much darker, more chaotic direction. The second is Noctornum, a burbling and soaring piece that's at once aquatic and astral, before an emphatic rhythm forms, pushing things into menacing Szajner-esque territory. The album closes with the mid-tempo arpeggios and muted, wailing siren-tones of Omat Principle Decay, a moving finale to a record that's taken you so far and tingled your senses so intensely. A high point in Jonas Reinhardt's large canon, the dramatic and majestic Palace Savant does exquisite justice to St. Vitus Cathedral's grandeur. Album artwork by Andy Gilmore.

This Book Will Strengthen Your Faith and Answer Hard Questions
Format: Hardcover
This book is a must read for all Christians. You don’t have to be a student of theology to appreciate the lessons inside. It’s actually strengthened my faith and answered many questions when it comes to how a Christian should apply the Scriptures to living an ethical life. It is a large textbook but it reads very well and if you want to truly dive deeper to live a more Christ like life I would highly encourage you to read it.

Very Extensive Overview of Major Ethical Issues
Format: Hardcover
Anyone familiar with Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology knows how extensive his work tends to be. At 1,328 pages, Christian Ethics: An Introduction to Biblical Moral Reasoning follows that same comprehensive approach, offering a systematic guide to Christian moral reasoning.
Grudem’s goal is to help Christians live lives pleasing to God by obeying Scripture and making wise moral choices. His ethical framework is rooted in God’s character and the authority of Scripture, with careful attention to the relationship between Old and New Testament ethics. While many ethical themes are drawn from the Ten Commandments, Grudem argues that the moral law remains applicable today, while the ceremonial and civic laws have passed away with the coming of Christ.
Readers will notice that his chapter on civil government is adapted from his earlier work, Politics—According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture.
Grudem argues that moral right and wrong are grounded in who God is—not in human consensus. God’s attributes (holiness, love, justice, and truthfulness) define what is good. As such, Grudem holds to a form of Divine Command Theory: God’s commands flow from God’s nature. God does not command arbitrarily, because his moral will reflects his unchanging, holy, loving, and just character. God’s nature is the ultimate standard of goodness, and the Good is not external to God (contra Plato). Therefore, Grudem stands within the theological voluntarist tradition associated with Augustine, Calvin, and Reformed orthodoxy.
For Grudem, ethics is ultimately about imitating God (Eph. 5:1), which stands in direct opposition to moral relativism and situation ethics. He devotes chapters to honoring God through avoiding idolatry, truthfulness in speech, and faithfulness in Sabbath observance and devotion.
Grudem also addresses the moral obligation to protect life, engaging debated issues such as abortion, euthanasia, suicide, war and self-defense, racial discrimination, and substance use and health decisions. He presents arguments alongside counterarguments, seeking to ground his conclusions biblically.
Regarding authority, Grudem argues that God exercises authority through parents, societal structures, civil government, and the local church. Christians are called to obey civil authorities, though civil disobedience is justified when the state commands what God forbids. Grudem defends a just war position, arguing that war can be morally justified under certain conditions and that governments are authorized by God to use force to restrain evil. In his view, failing to stop evil can itself become immoral. As a result, he rejects Christian pacifism as an absolute position. Jesus’ commands regarding non-retaliation (e.g., “turn the other cheek”) apply to individual Christians, not to the state’s responsibility to uphold justice.
The book also addresses marriage and related ethical questions, including marriage and divorce, birth control, IVF and reproductive technologies, pornography, and contemporary debates surrounding homosexuality and transgenderism—all discussed within a biblical framework. Grudem affirms that divorce is permitted in limited biblical cases (sexual immorality and abandonment), though never ideal. I would add that abuse should also be considered legitimate grounds for divorce. He rejects divorce based on incompatibility, unhappiness, or a “loss of love.”
Additional topics include private property, work and rest, wealth and poverty, personal stewardship, debt, business ethics, and environmental care. As in his previous writings, Grudem maintains a complementarian view of gender roles, arguing that God designed men and women for distinct but complementary roles, particularly in the home and the church.
Throughout the book, Grudem emphasizes human responsibility, freedom, and moral accountability. Our choices carry real moral weight and real consequences. One of the book’s strengths is its emphasis on the heart in ethical reasoning, serving as a corrective to purely external, rule-based moral frameworks. For Grudem, genuinely Christian ethics begins internally and works outward—a point with which I agree. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5–7), he argues that ethics without heart transformation inevitably becomes legalism.
Overall, readers will likely find Grudem’s positions conservative. While he does not dismiss natural law arguments, he clearly adopts a “Scripture-first” approach. This book is especially well suited for pastors, as congregants regularly wrestle with complex ethical questions and need biblically grounded guidance.

What one Would Come to Expect
Format: Hardcover
It is typically what you would come to expect from Wayne Grudem. Those familiar with his Systematic Theology will find the material here familiar. Of course, he is dealing with a new set of topics by applying his theological rationale to a set of ethical issues. There a wide set of issues covered here. The reasoning is typical mediocre and the theological development is fine, fair, just ok. Theologically it is a bit thin, but its a nice handy resource, and if you're inclined theologically in a similar direction, then its not a bad collection of essays on important issues that evangelicals need to think about more carefully and critically.

Bad Manufacturing
Format: Paperback
When I got my package. It was in perfect condition, not showing any signs of it being damaged. But then when I started to go through the pages, a couple pages were stained. One page was completely ripped. I thought I could probably just tape it back together, but it was literally missing a chunk of the text. Then I came to the realization I shouldn't have to pay $40 - $50 dollars, and then have to try to fix it and deal with it.
