[Dialogue] A Book Question

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

The book I'm most excited about is Evolutionary  Enlightenment by Andrew 
Cohen. It isn't in the Christian  tradition, so it might not fill your group's 
need, Priscilla, but I wanted to  mention it in this great discussion of 
books. It reminded me so much of Kaz'  Saviors of God that on my second 
reading, I read that  along with it.  Awe abounded for me each morning as Kaz' 
poetry, written in  1922-23, was put into contemporary scientific and  
spiritual understanding.
 
Blessings,
Jann McGuire

Subject:  [Dialogue] A Book Question




I belong to a women's book study group at Village Presbyterian Church. We 
have 
 studied Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong, Bruce Chilton's Rabbi Jesus, among 
others. 
 We are just finishing Brian McLaren's A New Kind of Christianity. Brian is 
 coming to our church in April to speak. Borg has been here also.
 I consider our church on the edge re mission, pursuing the question of 
where the 
 next phase of Christianity needs to take us, etc.
 
 I would appreciate any suggestions for books from any of you. We finish 
McLaren 
 in mid-March and haven't decided what next.
 Priscilla
