Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation | Kristin Kobes Du Mez

pick

I learned a lot about the history of white evangelicals and how their beliefs and religion play a roll in today‘s politics. Very enlightening but also cringey.

bailed

And that's a bail! Some interesting stuff, but a lot of stuff so over my head that I was just reading words with no meaning.

But, yay, got a bingo! 😁

The Screwtape Letters | C.S. Lewis

I've been meaning to re-read this book.
Enjoyed it just as much this time around, with the added bonus of Screwtape's speech.

How to Be Here: A Guide to Creating a Life Worth Living | Rob Bell

pick

Enjoyed this more than I expected to! I wasn‘t sure for the first couple of chapters, but then he starts talking about craft, and risk, and it‘s SO GOOD. Took so many notes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Raised Mormon, I'm now a religious Humanist with an affinity for pagan nature worship and Catholic æsthetics who regularly attends progressive high church Episcopal mass with my Christian wife, Amy. Yes, it's complicated. The Mary book is in Latin & English 🤍

All That's Holy: A Young Guy, an Old Car, and the Search for God in America | Tom Levinson

pick

This is a book for everyone, so you don‘t have to believe in something specific in order to read it. I liked it more the second time I read it. Tom is an emotionally intelligent man seeking to understand different perspectives on religion as he travels through the U.S. interviewing people. He diversified the religions or his interviews. There are no conversion requirements. I am still not religious, but I feel like it was worth reading.

Going to Church in Medieval England | Nicholas Orme

p. 25: 'By the eleventh century... the church congregation formed a similar grouping to that of its members' everyday lives. One often began, continued, and ended one's spiritual life in the local church. One went there with one's neighbors. Most churches would grow in size in later times, but the essential parish church community had now been created.'
