Theology Ruined My Life

I came across an intriguing essay entitled "Theology Ruined My Life." Elizabeth Nawrocki changed her college major from biology to theology, and with insight, some pain, and humor talks about how her life, not just her business prospects, were turned upside down. This is something to think about: she advises--correctly--that the serious study of the Bible, Church History, and particularly the literary giants of the Church like St. Augustine can have a profound and troubling impact. As Elizabeth writes, she can no longer live with the pedestrian parochial pieties knowing what she knows now, particularly in terms of her sensitivity so human suffering and injustice.
