Theology Ruined My Life

2 Comments

Read Now
 
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.

Similar feelings as the editorial for me also. Thanks for sharing.

Jim,
Thanks for stopping by the Café today. If you would like to be a guest "brew master" and discuss some of your own impressions and experiences, I'd be glad to give you the floor for a day's post. You can do this anonymously, of course. The day's posts generally run 500-1000 words, but 200 good ones would fill the bill, too.

I founded the blog in part because I wanted a place where church ministers and leaders could raise awareness to the challenges and difficulties of the life.

It is readers like you who keep me focused.

With kind regards,
Tom
