Here is a 'lay' theology from the gut and not simply from the head, and from the street and not only from the library. Here God is wrestled with and not simply known in quiet certainty. Here the pain of life is faced in the hope of healing, and transformation.

Reviews for Pub Theology: Where Potato Wedges and a Beer Are a Eucharistic Experience

""This remarkable book contains truth wrung out of personal experience, the good and the bad of it: loss, anger, loneliness, unemployment, divorce, immigration, marginalization, laughter, provision, mission, and neighboring, just to mention a few. Yes, theology it is, but not the arid intellectual kind one sometimes gets in seminaries or the pulpit. I, for one, savor this book and covet it for others to read and fid their own way into the kingdom of God."" - R. Paul Stevens, Professor Emeritus, Marketplace Theology, Regent College, Chairman, Institute for Marketplace Transformation, author of several books dealing with everyday life including Work Matters, Money Matters, The Complete Book of Everyday Christianity, Doing God's Business, and Seven Days of Faith. ""What makes this book a standout is its combination of mature personal reflction with careful attention to lived realities in our social world and the environment. The book is like taking a gulp of fresh theological air. This is public theology that filed me with a desire to take up the call of God more deeply and widely."" - Dr Tim Dickau is an Associate in the Center for Missional Leadership and is the Director of Citygate in Vancouver, Canada. His latest book is Forming Christian Communities in a Secular Age. ""Here is emotionally intelligent theology in conversation with the messiness of life, designed not to give answers but rather to ask and spark better questions. This book invites me to listen in on the kinds of conversations I love being a part of."" - Tim Yearsley, Emerging Generations Lead, The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity [LICC]
