{"product_id":"9781498272018","title":"Through the Church Door","description":"Through the Church Door illuminates the relevance and importance of the church in today's society. Through personal experiences as both a university professor of literature and an ordained minister, Simonson shows us that the church serves those both within and outside its doors.  The church door presents a metaphor for the paradoxes of life: entrance\/exit, outside\/inside, secular\/sacred, closed in tradition\/opened in Christ. Simonson explores these with informal style and anecdotes threaded with ruminations. Allusions span literary as well as theological and biblical references.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107995894000,"sku":"9781498272018","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781498272018_p0.jpg?v=1763704087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781498272018","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
