Pete Enns has a true gift for taking complex topics and themes and making them relatable. This is a great book and you should read all his stuff.

an essential deconstruction/evolving faith read ↩️

i was introduced to @peteenns at @evolvfaithbut this was the first book of his i’ve read, and it resonated SO MUCH (see ALL THE FLAGS for evidence). i deeply appreciate his incredibly thorough, rational, intellectual, and expansive thoughts on faith, on the bible, on god, and on how he’s navigated his own journey along the way. 

i learned so many new things in this one, found myself thinking about my own faith and experiences and beliefs from new angles, appreciated how he wove his own story in humbly and frankly, and how his privilege was laid bare throughout. connecting dots between history and science and faith, between blown elbows in baseball and moments in taxis and changes in plans to faith, all to help expand our view of god? yes. so beautifully done, and so compelling to me. i have a lot i’m still thinking about from this one, and i love that! i want to keep ruminating on it for a while. 

a fantastic read, and one i highly recommend!

Puts the ology in Theology

This was a truly great book. I enjoyed reading this.

I did find the book very advanced.
It got very scientific very quickly.

Probably the most scientific and advanced theology book I've ever read!

Still a great book! Check it out!

“What if the way to God thrives by allowing our experiences in life to have their say? - from the mundane to the cosmic and everything in between.  What if the experiences of our lives in this evolving cosmos are a gift to help us see a bigger and better God, rather than a long exam to prove ourselves worthy? And when our lives bring anguish and suffering, what if a gentle way can be opened to us to see them also moving us toward a bigger vision of what we mean when we talk about God?”
