Good Reads Book Club

In January, the Good Reads Book Group will be reading and discussing the Good Reads group will be reading and discussing Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places by Eugene H. Peterson.

From the review on Journey with Jesus: Pastor and professor Eugene Peterson combines head and heart, theology and everyday spirituality. On the one hand, much theology is little more than arid rationalizations and “depersonalized information about God.” On the other hand, much so-called Christian spirituality is “impersonally functional,” served up with cliches, slogans, and programs. Peterson protests against both. As he defines it, spiritual theology “represents the attention that the church community gives to keeping what we think about God (theology) in organic connection with the way we live with God (spirituality).”

For a short interview with Peterson about what he hopes to accomplish in this book, see the interview from Christianity Today (March 2005).

The group meets bi-monthly via Zoom on Thursdays at 4:00 p.m. Contact Marie Highby at mhighby@gmail.com for the Zoom link!
