Today's social and political climate often pits conservative or traditional Christianity against "progressive" Christianity. But what is progressive Christianity? What is a progressive Christian? What is a progressive church? Christianity in Blue answers these questions by drawing from biblical scholarship, Christian history, theology, popular culture, philosophy, and cultural anthropology. Kaden shows how socially liberal values and progressive attitudes can be the fruits of taking seriously both the Bible and Christian tradition. But rather than treating these sources as static authorities and the final word on every subject, Kaden argues that they are places to start one's exploration of how to be a Christian in the world. Being a progressive Christian is an ethical exhortation to "uplift human personality," as Martin Luther King Jr. once said. This exhortation structures how progressive Christians receive, interpret, and apply the Bible and Christian tradition to daily life. A robust tradition provides an anchor to avoid the illiberal trends in contemporary society, and a commitment to uplifting human personality provides a check against dehumanizing uses of Scripture and tradition. Christianity in Blue will help both progressive and conservative Christians better understand the importance of the Bible, theology, history, and philosophy for building a loving church for everyone.
With the turn of the 21st century numerous apocalyptic prophecies abound predicting the ends of time, but Jonathan Callahan, a mild mannered Federal Government attorney, with some psychic ability, faces a more real nemesis, his petulant, sharp-tongued wife. Somehow he has survived almost twenty-five years of marriage and has raised two precocious teenagers daughters in the process. Yet, a miracle occurs and his wife agrees to a divorce. However, nothing is simple or easy for Jonathan. Soon he is fighting the almost ex-wife for both permanent custody of his two girls and anything else of value that isn’t nailed down. Jonathan’s best friend, a spirit guide named Masters, returns after six years, but to Jonathan’s dismay, Masters isn’t offering assistance, he’s enlisting Jonathan to help defeat a mysterious evil threatening this corner of the universe. With his domestic and universal peace efforts thwarted at every turn, ultimately, to survive, Jonathan must confront and conquer not only his almost ex-wife and the demons that attack him in his sleep, but he must finally face the shadows of his sealed past lurking within the dark corridors of his mind.
