A SHUCK & JIVE REVIEW OF THE BOOK: ALL MY BONES SHAKE

+ John Shuck, in his great Shuck & Jive blog, reviews All My Bones Shake by Robert Jensen. This is an important book offering powerful reasons why the growing Progressive Christianity movement needs our strong commitment.

Excerpts:

• Dr. Jensen's story is heartbreaking and heartwarming. Heartbreaking in that this is yet another instance in which the institution caves into fear, control, and irrelevance. Heartwarming in that this community embraced one of its own, stood by him, and refused to be bullied."
• His Presbyterian story is only the beginning of this important book. All My Bones Shake is a theology book. It is theology where it matters. It is about life and what it means to be human. It is also about politics. He calls it political theology or theological politics.

Jensen says we must resist and overcome what he calls the 4 fundamentalisms which are putting all of us on the path to annihilation. Please read John's review and find out what these 4 fundamentalisms are.

The book is powerful and John's review will give you a taste of this power.
