Beskrivning

The Goldilocks God: Searching for the via media explores the fertile middle ground between toxic Christianity and militant atheism. Can Christianity be intellectually credible? Why do our past failures and breakages offer comfort and hope? How does the via media of Anglicanism offer tactics for dealing with contemporary challenges and uncertainties? Whether exploring mystic Hildegard von Bingen, strategic thinker Queen Elizabeth, or theologians Jean-Luc Marion and Sarah Coakley, readers venture into a Trinitarian Goldilocks zone of faith, hope, and love. Guy Collins makes a creative and heartfelt case for a “spiritual thermodynamics” of trial and error, promise and glory. Illuminating ancient Christian practice with cutting-edge philosophy and theology, he reveals the lifelong habits that are “just right” for encountering the mystery of God.

Recensioner i media

The Goldilocks God by polymath priest Guy Collins provides a deep, intellectual, and satisfying approach to understanding the religious experiences of individuals and communities. It’s an analysis of Christian belief and practice, replete with history and anecdotes, in a narrative that explains as it engages. As one walks the via media that it lays out, at times the book is even a reverie.
