{"product_id":"9781938514388","title":"Being a Progressive Christian","description":"Chuck Queen explores the following themes from a distinctly progressive Christian viewpoint: Scripture, faith, Christianity, salvation, discipleship, and the Beatitudes. Each chapter consists of seven reflections; each reflection is followed by questions that probe deeper into the topic and facilitate group discussion. As an introduction to progressive Christianity, the author wrote with the church in mind, providing a good resource for church discipleship and study groups. \u003cp\u003eFor example, chapter 1 includes the following topics:\u003cbr\u003eWhat the Bible Says Is Not Necessarily What God Says\u003cbr\u003eThe Bible Is Not an Answer Book\u003cbr\u003eReading Scripture Transformatively\u003cbr\u003eHearing the Divine Voice\u003cbr\u003eHow Jesus Read His Bible\u003cbr\u003eExperience Generally Trumps Tradition\u003cbr\u003eHonoring Sacred Texts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach reflection is designed to stir the reader's theological imagination, spark critical thinking, and nurture Christian faith and spirituality. The articles weave together personal experiences and vignettes from literature and film, with creative biblical interpretation and theological exposition. Most of all, they are intended to ignite new questions that will inspire the reader to explore, think, and embrace the mystery of the Christian spiritual path. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChuck Queen is a minister, teacher, author, and blogger at http:\/\/www.afreshperspective-chuck.blogspot.com.
