What Language Shall I Borrow? [PDF ebook] 
God-Talk in Worship: A Male Response to Feminist Theology

‘[Wren’s] work is fresh, daring, and suggestive, and at the same time informed, critical, and disciplined. . . . Wren has combined an exceedingly thoughtful theoretical presentation of the linguistic problem and a step-by-step practical walk-through of the issues. . . . It takes a poet, not a clerk, to voice what has been disclosed by God. Wren is such a poet; he invites us to fresh evangelical cadences that will themselves liberate.’
Theology Today
‘[Wren] makes an inventive effort to help cure the disease that is devastating the worship scene. He himself writes extraordinary hymn texts that are ‘beyond patriarchy, ‘ and he hangs them in ‘galleries’ in his book. . . . He gives us a readable, convincing book centered on the language question but profoundly theological in its implications.’
National Catholic Reporter
‘A book of tremendous value to liturgists, theologians, members of the newly forming men’s liberation movement, clergy and policymakers, and anyone interested in the issue of inclusive God-language, including those who are curious about why it matters in the first place. . . . Part of the value of What Language Shall I Borrow? is Wren’s graceful, imaginative presentation of his facts. Although there is ample cognitive input, it is interspersed with moving hymn texts, practical workshop ideas and fascinating narratives.’
