Praise for a Christianity worth believing"Pagitt clearly articulates both the heart and theology of the Emergentmovement. . . . postmodern readers struggling with current expressions of faith will see love and hope." Publishers Weekly"A Christianity Worth Believing is a guide for Christians who doubt their own faith but are not yet ready to give up on it all. Seeking to inspire souls to find their faith once more by addressing common problems and answering the questions not normally answered, [it] is a choice pick for anyone who wants to reclaim their religion." Midwest Book Review"[T]his book is dangerousa manifesto of a kind (mixed with personal memoir) that argues for a holistic view of Christianity rather than the God-as-all-powerful-king-in-the-sky version rooted in fifth-century Greco-Roman understanding of deity and faith that has been so popular for the last millennium and a half. Pagitt . . . brings the emergent deconstructive spirit to his approach to the faith, which is informed by the Jewish understanding of God as creator, lover, redeemer, judge, and mediator and by the Orthodox belief that humans are basically good, not totally depraved."
