Beschreibung:

"e;Prophets are rare in our culture and poets are needed in this challenging contemporary moment. Trey Ferguson is a poet and a prophet for such a time as this. "e; Otis Moss, III, Pastor, Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago, author of Dancing in the DarknessFaith can get messy. Whether we're talking about personal beliefs or the ideologies shaping our institutions, there's a lot to wade through. As people drifting through and sometimes away from faith communities reexamine their convictions, there's more desire than ever to live freely and to grant our curiosity an audience.In Theologizin' Bigger: Homilies on Living Freely and Loving Wholly, pastor, podcaster, and public theologian Trey Ferguson encourages you to re-engage your imagination and construct theologies that speak to our current contexts, just as people of faith have done throughout history.With personal stories and some lo-fi truth-telling, Ferguson leads us through topics like how we read the Bible, our inherited traditions, accountability, our value, and a faith that can shape tomorrow. Ferguson writes, "e;Theology requires imagination. The ability to imagine is part of what makes us human. And salvation is, in part, a rehumanization project."e;You don't have to ignore your nagging doubts and honest questions. You don't have to check any part of yourself at the door. You can live freely and love wholly. When you're Theologizin' Bigger, you get to decide where the crown goes.

Theologizin' Bigger is a book by bestselling author, pastor, podcaster, and public theologian Trey Ferguson that offers readers a common-sense, accessible, and modern perspective on the nature of God.

If you believe there is an active, divine force impacting the world around you, congratulations. You've been theologizin' this whole time. Theologizin' isn't just for the theologians. It's for everybody who's thinking thoughts about God. Good thoughts. Bad thoughts. Skeptical thoughts. Undoubting thoughts. Old thoughts. New thoughts.

In Theologizin' Bigger, Trey Ferguson tackles the messiness of believing through thoughtful interrogation and shows the unlimited potential of faith. With personal stories and some lo-fi truth-telling, Ferguson leads us through topics like how we read the Bible, our inherited traditions, accountability, our value, and a faith that can shape tomorrow. 

Faith unleashes the imagination. Should you be bold enough to try it, faith will have you living the life you never imagined.

"Ferguson's book has deep importance for those who know (or don't know) they're stuck, and for anyone who feels the questions bubbling up, even those who hadn't realized it was okay to ask them." -Englewood Review of Books
