Synopsis
Christianity receives a lot of attention in the media, but the most frequently discussed version represents a type of Christianity that sometimes turns people away from the Church. Kissing Fish presents a postmodern systematic theology of progressive Christianity, a growing movement that reclaims the radical message of the Gospel. This informative, contemplative, and entertaining book will guide you through the beliefs that inspire us to love one another in the transformative way that Jesus proclaimed, including practices that will take your faith to a new level. Kissing Fish is a scholarly yet thoroughly accessible introduction to progressive Christianity. While the intended target audience for this work would seem to be those who have either left the Christian faith or never adopted it at all; the work is filled with pearls of wisdom for all of us, whether associated with Christianity or not. Kissing Fish is a truly remarkable work, serving both as a reminder of the beauty and grace that form the central tenets of the faith, while offering a graceful yet prophetic rebuttal to its more exclusionary tendencies. Kissing Fish is part theological text and part tell-all personal spiritual journey. Imagine a down-to-earth combination of the works of Marcus Borg, Anne Lamott, Jim Wallis, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne, Diana Butler-Bass, Brian McLaren, Walter Wink, Wes Howard-Brook, and Donald Miller. A profound romp that informs and inspires., Christianity gets plenty of media attention--but often for all the wrong reasons. If you've ever felt disillusioned by the loudest, most rigid voices in modern Christianity, Kissing Fish: Christianity for People Who Don't Like Christianity offers a refreshing alternative. Roger Wolsey presents an accessible and engaging introduction to progressive Christianity--a growing movement that reclaims the radical love, inclusivity, and transformative message at the heart of the Gospel. Part postmodern systematic theology and part personal spiritual journey, this book speaks directly to those who have left the church, never felt welcome in it, or are simply searching for a faith that makes sense in today's world. Wolsey weaves together personal stories and deep theological reflection, offering a candid and hopeful invitation to rediscover Christianity beyond dogma and exclusion. His voice brings together the thoughtfulness of Brian McLaren and Diana Butler Bass, the pastoral warmth and openness of Rob Bell, and the prophetic call to social justice found in the work of Jim Wallis and Shane Claiborne. Like Walter Wink, Wolsey explores the powers and principalities with clarity and courage, and like Wes Howard-Brook, he calls readers to return to the radical roots of the Christian tradition. There's also an authenticity and down-to-earth narrative style reminiscent of Donald Miller. Kissing Fish challenges harmful stereotypes while presenting a faith that is intellectually honest, emotionally satisfying, and spiritually fulfilling. Whether you're "spiritual but not religious," a progressive believer, or someone standing at the edges of faith, this book offers a way forward. If you like Jesus but struggle with Christianity, Kissing Fish invites you to explore a path that embraces mystery, fosters compassion, and empowers you to love boldly and live authentically in today's complex world.
