Thought Provoking - By: J. Mccormick, 25 Nov 2008 
Peter Rollins, in this, his latest book proves to be just as thought provoking as his previous publications. His book addresses issues that some may condier to be taboo subjects, & issues that the wider church, & Christians can often forget about, or perhaps not even consider. Dr. Rollins footnotes alllow the reader to continue reading, outside of the subject, & see where he developed his train of thought, if they so desire. I managed to plow through this book in a short period of time, because I couldn't put it down, I always seemed to want one more page. Highly recommended.
great for provoking discussion - By: sidekicked, 04 Aug 2008 We are currently discussing this book in a book-group style church group. Our group is affiliated to a liberal Anglican church. It's a great book for this type of group as it sparks debate about a range of theological topics. Also, it's good for a group with Evangelical pasts & liberal leanings, because Rollins introduces a way of reading the Bible which doesn't sit easily with either perspective.
I thought this book was easier to read than How (not) to Speak of God (Rollin's previous book), but this maybe because I've read some Caputo & Zizek in between these two books. Rollins is great at communicating the ideas of great thinkers & applying them to current spiritual practice/community. I agree with a lot of what he's saying, but even if you don't think you will it is still worth reading.
