My Dishwasher Theology: Thinking about the Big Questions of Christian Faith
Ebook
Overview
If you want to get to the core questions of Christian faith with members of a Christian faith community, you have to wash the dishes with them after the Sunday coffee hour. That is where the big questions are asked and discussed. That is where the learning happens and the deep spiritual experiences can form disciples. This book tries to provide ministers, seminarians, or interested Christians with food for thought for some of the typical questions you would encounter when washing the dishes with parishioners. “Do you believe in the Bible?” “Are not all religions the same?” “What about heaven and hell?” This book tries not to give finished answers but intends to help the reader to develop an answer themselves.
“I am most impressed by this young theologian who dares to
confront questions which all of us—pastors, professional
theologians, teachers, and believers as well as seekers—have
encountered and secretly sighed over. André Stephany takes them up
without fear. By giving his personal answers, he writes a
“dogmatics in outline” for our times—my next Christmas gift for my
sons!”
—Caroline Schröder Field, Minister, the Reformed Cathedral, Basel,
Switzerland
“Stephany offers a composition that fits for both teachers and
students, veterans and novices, using a key educational tool: ‘in a
living relationship, nothing is static.’ This short book connects
the modern heart with historic poets, saints, and theologians in
negotiating the big questions of Christian faith in today’s liquid
times.”
—Stuart Mennigke, Honorary Assistant Priest, Christ Church
Cathedral
