Unorthodox Thoughts on God and Community
Paperback
Publication Date: 04/04/2023
Courageous practices for building diverse communities through radically inclusive love, In Open, Brad Braxton boldly articulates an open theology-progressive approaches that promote unorthodox theological reflection and the creation of inclusive communities. Attempts to box in God diminish us spiritually and render us prone to small-mindedness and mean-spiritedness. God does not need to be protected by religious fence building and cultural gatekeeping. To honor an open God who delights in diversity, we should create open communities committed to radically inclusive love. This book engages serious-even controversial-topics, including Jesus's identity, reparations for slavery, LGBTQ equality, the Black Lives Matter movement, warfare and nonviolence, environmental justice, and interreligious collaboration. Insisting that there is room for all, an open theology empowers us to create broad spaces where people from diverse backgrounds with divergent beliefs can peacefully probe their differences and celebrate their similarities for the sake of a better world.
