Confessions of a Bible Thumper : My Homebrewed Quest for a Reasoned Faith

What happens when a devout religious conservative questions his own evangelical tradition using the Socratic principle and follows where the evidence leads? Michael Camp's examination sends him on an illuminating spiritual adventure, a tenacious quest for a vibrant but reasoned faith in God. His deepening doubts propel him to uncover nine "heretical" revelations that turn evangelical theology on its head. Through entertaining vignettes and lively conversations in a pub, readers learn how he ultimately adopts a new vision for a progressive-but not stereotypical-faith in Christ. Sure to rattle the Religious Right and befuddle the Secular Left, this brutally honest personal pilgrimage challenges and encourages readers to rethink all things sacred and embrace a faith full of grace and reason.
