In his new book \u003cem\u003eThe Fidelity of Betrayal\u003c\/em\u003e, Peter Rollins has teased out - as Bonhoeffer never had the chance to do - profound possibilities hidden in the phrase. As a huge fan of Peter's first book, I find his second no less thoughtful, stimulating, and at times unsettling - always in a most (de)constructive way. His subversive parables, his clever turns of phrase, and his beguiling clarity all conspire to tempt the reader into that most fertile and terrifying of activities - to think to the very rim of one's understanding, and then to faithfully imagine the Truth that lies far beyond.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Brian McLaren, author\/activist (www.brianmclaren.net)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat if one of the core demands of a radical Christianity lay in a call for its betrayal, while the ultimate act of affirming God required the forsaking of God? And what if fidelity to the Judeo-Christian Scriptures demanded their renunciation? In short, what would it mean if the only way of finding real faith involved betraying it with a kiss?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmploying the insights of mysticism and deconstructive theory, \u003cem\u003eThe Fidelity of Betrayal\u003c\/em\u003e delves into the subversive and revolutionary nature of a Christianity that dwells within the church while simultaneously undermining it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-1082394\"\u003ePeter Rollins\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557255600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557255601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL051000\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL067000\"\u003eChristian Theology | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Paraclete Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42681967116525,"sku":"9781557255600","price":21.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_66ff261e-6a6a-473b-b208-ea5160d575a6.jpg?v=1649714179","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/fidelity-of-betrayal-towards-a-church-beyond-belief-9781557255600","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
