I am reading the complex christ and I dont know if that is good or bad. It is one of those books that makes one sigh and say "ah, so i am not the only one who thinks this" and at the same time makes the world you live in a harder place to be because you so desperately desire a different way. complex christ discusses the church and its current situation, as an 8 track player in a brand new car. Its there, but of little to no use and doesnt jive with anything that has happened in the last 20 years. Mr Brewin makes the sort of organized professional academic argument for change that i wish my impatient fast paced little mind could. I am totally in love with his references to other works, because for once a cited author actually relates to the point the citing author is making, with no need for the citing author to expound on that quote or manipulate it into their theory. how refreshing. Im only in the first chapter, and am very eager/apphrensive for the next seven. this might be a book that evolves my thinking and i am always on the lookout for that.
