How To Fit the Christian Society: And Why I No Longer Choose in Bloomington, MN

How to Fit in the Christian Society
is about the consequences of dogmatic certainty, the irrationalities of forced conviction, and the sacrifices involved in abandoning the pursuit of truth for a pursuit of community. With incisive observations and philosophical depth, the book invites Evangelical Christians to consider the possibility of a truly welcoming social landscape in which contrarian thinking is a virtue, not a sin. In Part One, the book deconstructs common notions of belief, faith, and doubt, challenging the foundations of these core doctrinal concepts. Part Two consists of a series of essays critically analyzing key Christian rituals, including prayer, preaching, and weekly Bible studies. With critique always rooted in deep respect for the Christian tradition,
offers the possibility of a less dogmatic Church that values truth-seeking as much as it values community-building.
