Book Club Selections
Although Rachel will still discuss books she's reading on her blog, the monthly book club will be retired for now. Below are the two titles she most recently discussed.
January: The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight (Zondervan 2008) challenges the notion that the Bible can be tamed and systematized in favor of view that regards the Bible as a Story. This "Third Way" between the conservative and liberal extremes allows for the Bible to be applied to a new generation in new ways. In Part One, McKnight tackles the question, "What is the Bible?" In Part Two, he addresses "What Do I Do with The Bible?" Part Three takes on "How Do I Benefit from the Bible" And Part Four applies McKnight's hermeneutic to women in church ministry.
February: The Great Emergence by Phyllis Tickle (Baker 2008) begins with the idea that "every five hundred years, the church cleans out its attic and has a giant rummage sale," proposing that we are living in such a time of change right now. Tickle, one of America's most respected religious experts, describes "the Great Emergence" as a time of dizzying upheaval and hopeful promise during which various sectors of day's church swirl into a greater confluence at the center.
