Synopsis

Recovering...Timeless Truths

Like an online starter pack meme, Theos Starter Pack: Toward a Recovery of Essential Christianity is designed to provoke a response.

The book includes twenty essays by a motley crew of Bible geeks who are all active in church ministry and teach at TheosU, an online, nondenominational Bible college.

The focus is on recovering the roots of Christianity-recovering the way we teach, recovering the Bible's grand narrative, recovering Christian liberty, recovering apocalyptic, and much more.

Each writer "takes into consideration the ageless tradition of Christianity that has been handed down through the centuries, resisting the cultural soup and integrating timeless thinking into an approach that works for the present day," explains Chris Palmer, TheosU dean. This book is a lifeline "to pull yourself out of the soup."

You may laugh. You may run to your Bible. You may reach out to one of the writers to share a few choice words. But no matter what, these essayists hope you will be inspired and come away with rich theological insights.

Theos Starter Pack recovers beautiful elements of ancient Christianity that have been lost or shoved aside in modern society. It's food for the souls of those who long for a return to the roots of our faith.
