New Book from Process & Faith!
Renewing Faith: Reigniting Faith and Ministry through Process and Open & Relational Theologies
Sheri D. Kling, editor
Are you feeling burned out, bored, or disillusioned with your faith or ministry? Do you long for a revitalized spirituality that speaks to both your heart and your head?
Renewing Faith is a bold and hopeful invitation to reimagine Christianity through the transformative lenses of process and open & relational theologies. Drawing on the rich insights of contemporary theology, science, and philosophy, this book brings together voices of pastors, theologians, spiritual directors, chaplains, and seekers who are rediscovering the vitality and purpose of a living faith.
Whether you identify as a progressive mainliner, contemplative soul, post-evangelical questioner, or spiritual-but-not-religious wanderer, you’ll find fresh pathways to reawaken your passion and deepen your connection to the Divine.
