Books
"Matthew Milliner's Mother of the Lamb: The Story of a Global Icon is a book of remarkable scholarship combined with deep humanity. The story of the pervasive influence of a single, poignant icon of Mary and Christ--first painted in the hills of Cyprus in the last days of the Crusades and the sad twilight of Byzantium, then copied throughout the world--opens the mind and the heart to a long-neglected chapter in the history of the Christian imagination. It challenges the reader to give thought to what its serene, sad lines and gracious posture might yet have to say to our own times." (Peter Brown, professor emeritus, department of history, Princeton University)The Everlasting People: G.K. Chesterton and the First Nations (InterVarsity Press, 2021).
“I wasn’t expecting to like ‘The Everlasting People.’ Traumatized… by the ongoing efforts of many American so-called Christians who seem to be doing everything right now NOT to love their neighbours and practice justice, it seemed from the get-go that a book aimed at evangelicals would definitely not be one I’d like….. I was wrong…. Milliner has gone through the hard work of learning about the First Nations of Turtle Island. He has developed relations, listened more than spoke, and learned at the feet of his Indigenous mentors.” (Matthew R. Anderson describing his review of The Everlasting People in Literature and Theology)Book Chapters
