A Book about Christian Truth Claims

December 4, 2010

tags: Evangelicalism, Stages of Faith, Truth Claims

I just made available a short book I’d previously written, after a lengthy period of research and refining. It is “Figuring Out Your Faith: Discovering Truth Among Conflicting Claims.” I’ll have specific location information soon, when Amazon finishes processing it.

In it, I tell my own story in one chapter (and the rest is based on my long experience participating and leading in Christian ministry some years ago now). Lots of deeper, scholarly research went into it as well… fascinating stuff. It is for a lay audience, so although meaty, not technical or with difficult terminology.

Soon I will start posting some core points that I cover for your reactions and participation in what could be some lively discussion.

For purposes of this Natural Spirituality blog, I began it as "spiritual but not religious" but, since about 2010, I have re-embraced my Christian roots -- this time as a "Progressive Christian" under a very different view of God and the Bible, etc. than my upbringing and many adult years until about 1995. I don't much like labels; tolerate them as a necessary "evil". I believe we are all "religious" in the broadest sense, as well as "spiritual." My community involvement is more about a "philosophy of life" and meaningful action that includes the spiritual than about religion as usually meant. My intellectual life includes a strong interest in both historical issues (especially Christian origins) and theological ones. I am intent on applying both of these to current life issues, so am not into "intellectual games" for their own sake. I do have extensive "formal schooling" in psychology, counseling, theology and religious education. Beyond such academics, I have great natural curiosity and a strong desire to contribute to people's growth toward spiritual freedom and maturity and the benefit that brings to society. I am an optimist seeking to support deeper mutual understanding, respect and humanitarian cooperation among people of all levels and types of religion/spirituality.
