Synopsis

"Open Christianity" is an invitation to keep the faith but drop the dogma. Many Christian-heritage seekers struggle with conflicted yearning. They value much that the tradition offers. But the church door feels closed unless they accept beliefs at odds with logic and the truth of their hearts. "Open Christianity" maintains that yes, you can leave behind that which has ceased to make sense, and still be very Christian. Burklo's discussion of complex topics such as "a theology of 'enough'," "soulful sexuality" and "the gospel truth" will be controversial--but enlightening. A product of the author's work as a Stanford chaplain, a Protestant pastor, and an urban/street minister, this book encourages spiritual growth that won't founder on efforts to believe the unbelievable.
