Product Description

Product Description
Dave Tomilinson is author of "The Post Evangelical", a seminal book which acknowledged the disenchantment with simplistic approaches to faith experienced by many evangelicals. Many, locked into interpretations of Christianity that they can no longer accept, have given up on the Church altogether. But is re-enchantment possible in our post-modern, post-Christian age?Re-enchantment is not a return to credulity or an attempt to recapture lost innocence, but it is finding a realistic faith that reconciles heart and head, that offers a positive, engaging spirituality, that is unafraid of grappling honestly with difficult questions.

About the Author
Dave Tomlinson was a house church leader for many years and is now an Anglican priest. Unable to accept the narrow restrictions of his tradition, he founded the legendary Holy Joe's, a church in a pub in Clapham for disaffected church drop outs. He is now Vicar of St Luke's, Holloway - home of the Greenbelt Christian Arts Festival - and a thriving parish church in London.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and life-affirming, 13 Sep 2008
By Mark Mckee (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dave Tomlinson's Re-Enchanting Christianity is a must-have for anyone with a spiritual yearning, whether steeped in Christianity or from other walks of life altogether. By seeking to separate spirituality from the entanglements of religion we see a fresh perspective on how God is interested in the whole person and their interactions within the community and wider society and not just the soul. "Church is not supposed to be a place of theological `purity' or rigid conformity to certain beliefs and conventions, but a mishmash of believers, doubters, dissenters and malcontents, each of whom is grappling in his or her own way towards a mystery that is God." The reader is encouraged to look beyond the baggage of church and all the images it conjures (e.g. Gnosticism, exclusiveness) towards engaging with other views, not as something to be feared, but in a dialogue where we have something to learn from those of different cultural, faith and spiritual paradigms. Tomlinson believes that the church can pull itself back from entrenched positions to address peoples' spiritual needs in an era of growing spiritual interest, without seeing them only as potential converts but instead as people in God's image. This position is neatly articulated in this view of the gospel's role in the 21st century: "...caring for the earth, making poverty history, combating the AIDS pandemic, supporting fair trade, making peace instead of war, creating social justice, eliminating corruption, and opposing prejudice and bigotry are all gospel concerns."

Re-Enchanting Christianity is a gem, and well worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great follow-up, 7 Sep 2008
By D. H. Mellows (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dave Tomlinson's book The Post Evangelical was hugely influential, helping many Christians to face their doubts and find a pathway forward. Re-enchanting Christianity is a great follow-up. The first book perhaps represented Tomlinson's disenchantment. This new book offers a positive and vibrant message of hope. People may be less religious now, but they are as spiritual as ever. Tomlinson challenges the church to rise to this challenge and provide a place where spiritually hungry people can come with doubts and questions, feel accepted as they are, and become part of a community that is learning, growing, caring, and sharing in a journey of spiritual discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the wait!, 3 Oct 2008
By Rev. SP Hallam - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you (like me) read Dave's first book, `The post-evangelical,' thinking that it was describing your own journey of faith and got to the last page desperately wanting more, you would have been eagerly anticipating `Re-enchanting Christianity' for many a year! The good news is that you will not be disappointed by the wait. Dave managers to expertly blend his own wealth of pastoral experience with his sharp and insightful theological mind to put forward this clear and coherent appeal for a faith that is inclusive and a church that is warmly embracing and open to the world in which it finds itself.

But whereas `The Post-evangelical' in many ways asked more questions than supplied answers, `Re-enchanting Christianity,' puts flesh onto the bones of Dave's thoughts as to where the church is at and as to where he feels it needs to go.

It will give renewed hope to those of us who do not want (anymore) to abandon the church to it's seemingly relentless decline into irreverence but who seek to re-engage with it in a new and open way, free from the dogma of the past into a bright future, where our traditions are seen, not as straight jackets, but as treasure-troves of experience to inform us on our journey.

No matter from which tradition you may have come, if you are seeking to re-engage with your faith and with the world around you in a new and coherent fashion, this book is for you.
