Agnostic: A Spirited Manifesto by Lesley Hazleton

5.0

A refreshing invitation into a middle way between religion and atheism. With experience living in different parts of the world, including over a decade in Jerusalem, and having done extensive research throughout the years, Lesley Hazleton really knows her stuff as a self-proclaimed accidental theologist. She approaches a complex conversation, sometimes all out war, with grace & compassion. A much needed book for an former pastor, exvangelical, like myself as I discover what’s next. I’ll finish with one of my favorite paragraphs, which I think captures the essence of what she goes out to do: “This is the agnostic’s faith: not in answers, but in possibilities. It’s in the way doubt opens up thought instead of closing it off-in the vitality of a mind intrigued, challenged, dancing with uncertainty instead of being plagued by it.” I’m ready to dance!
