Re-Enchanting Christianity

Full Product Description

DAVE TOMLINSON is author of The Post Evangelical, a seminal book which acknowledged the disenchantment with simplistic approaches to faith experienced by many evangelicals. Many, locked into interpretations of Christianity that they can no longer accept, have given up on the Church altogether. But is re-enchantment possible in our post-modern, post-Christian age?

In this original and exciting follow-on book, Dave Tomlinson explores how Christianity, once deconstructed, can become credible again.

Re-enchantment is not a return to credulity or an attempt to recapture lost innocence, but it is finding a realistic faith that reconciles heart and head, that offers a positive, engaging spirituality, that is unafraid of grappling honestly with difficult questions.

He explores key components of Christian belief – God, sin, the Bible, resurrection, the Church, mission, prayer and more – and asks how they can be understood in deeper, more meaningful ways.

Re-Enchanting Christianity by Dave Tomlinson was published by Canterbury Press in August 2008 and is our 22997th best seller. The ISBN for Re-Enchanting Christianity is 9781853118579.

    Re-Enchanting Christianity

    Jim Currin, via The Good Book Stall

    Far fewer people would be leaving church if they had read this book before closing the door. Here Dave Tomlinson, known for his seminal work The Post Evangelical helpfully reconstructs a credible Christianity for the doubting, questioning, and disillusioned Christian who is trying to reconnect with their first love of faith in today’s spiritual world. Using the principle of ‘thesis, antithesis and synthesis’ we find a real appreciation of the antithesis to faith and the synthesis which leads to the re-enchanting Christianity of the book title. Beautifully written with excellent illustrations from the first page, he helpfully leads the reader along a path he calls ‘progressive orthodoxy’, to face and explore many of the difficult theological issues which caused many Christians to give up the journey of faith. Masterful.

    A must read for all Christians who really care about Mission

    This book takes us back to basics, looking at what we really believe and how that impacts on us and those we meet. It explores the 'sacred cows' of belief and shows how some of them have developed a life of their own, far detached from what we read of God in the Bible. It reminds us again and again of how much God loves all of humanity and wants to spend time with each one of us. It also, perhaps surprisingly, looks at the way the Anglican Church is set up as being a positive model for Mission with many opportunities to meet people where they are. Now all the Church needs to do is make sure that they feel welcome. We need to work at that but overall I found this to be an affirming book.
