Ok so here is the deal… I am a Liberal Christian… yeah we do exist! I do alot of reading and I think it is important for all people of faith to really examine what they believe and why… Really. I need to be prepared to speak intelligently about my faith and I have to be honest about where I am with my faith. Any Christian who is not prepared to do that is really not prepared to follow that path that Christ laid out for us… which is not a good thing.
I have a deep and abiding interest in all things spiritual and am very interested in topics related to Christian Philosophy and the history of religion in general. I found A History of God very interesting and highly recommend it. It is pretty academic and leans a bit to the agnostic end of the spectrum (she is a former nun gone native afterall). I also really like In Search of Paul. I really came to appreciate him by reading this book. He was one tough cookie… and very misunderstood when taken out of context. I found this book very insightful and again… it is pretty academic but it is very well done. For something a bit more heartfelt I really like The Journey of Desire. Although it is aimed at men… I was really moved by the book and it really had an impact on me as a person.
