Slow Theology

Outrageous headlines grab our attention. Social media offers us immediate satisfaction. Knee-jerk reactions reign supreme. And despite our constant connectivity, our lives increasingly lack true connection. In this insightful volume, A. J. Swoboda and Nijay Gupta show us how to discern God's voice amid the noise of modern life. Addressing deconstruction and doubt with honesty and humility, Swoboda and Gupta explore how we can fortify our faith to withstand the challenges of our culture. They offer readers everyday practices for slowing down amid the frenetic pace of life: Take your time making decisions. Don't settle for easy answers. Ponder mystery. Cultivate communal faith. Embrace the long road following Jesus. Theologically rich and broadly approachable, Slow Theology will help those weary of today's turmoil reconnect with God and neighbor. The book includes a foreword by Glenn Packiam.
