Good Perspective

Revisado: 02-23-21

I learned a lot in this book and always appreciate learning about other religions. The most important thing i learned is how to answer the question of why there are so many sects of christianity, or religions in general. Groups of people join together to fight against a percieved injustice and then become their own tribe/culture who has their own way of understanding the world. The book ended with secular humanism. The book neither promoted religion or non religion but rather stated a history of comparison and patterns of human thinking/behavior inside religious worldviews and how the enlightenment and science affected religious thinkers and non religious thinkers alike.

Not like the movie or TV series

Revisado: 12-12-20

I saw the TV series first because of a babysitting job. it was funny like adventure time esq humor. Then I saw the movie and enjoyed the plot. Because I liked it so much I went to listen to the book. Though the story is completely different, some of the same humor exists, theres more characters involved and character development, so overall it was a pretty good story with the target audience of middle schoolers.

Exactly What I Needed To Hear

Revisado: 10-19-19

I, a young adult, and recent graduate from a Theology program encountered some pretty mind boggling facts and information i couldnt unlearn. i went through an unprecedented and troublesome season of doubt. Those close to me called me demon possessed, a pagan, apostate and much more for taking a break from the church to rediscover my faith in this post graduate life in the real world - outside of the bubble i grew up in. i never gave up on god or doubted my experiences with but i was confused, lost, unable to relate to anyone bc of what i learned and was rejected for it. this book has brought back hope, a tentative direction to go and some much needed support thru this time in my life. thank you peter enns for being a theologian who values and understands the human experience and so eloquently threads the possibility of having faith or trust in all contexts and phases of life.

Eye Opening and Affirming

Revisado: 04-12-19

Peter Enns guides us through how the Bible works in order to provide insight into how wisdom works in our day and age. He answers the heavy question of "how to we reconcile an ancient text in todays workd that is so vastly different...and yet we are all still human, and God is God?" Check it out, I took the long way to work many times just to get more insight.
