"What, if anything, do I believe about God?"
The burgeoning of people who doubt many traditional Christian answers makes this question highly pertinent today. The short and very short essays of
Overdue Heresies aim to stimulate readers to reach, reaffirm, or rethink their own conclusions about God, Atheism, Jesus, Miracles, Sin, Salvation, and many other elements of the Christian tradition. They do not seek to persuade anyone of anything; rather, they encourage readers to enjoy disagreeing. They say little about the Quaker Way, though many of them resemble the messages that readers might hear spoken out of the silence of a Quaker meeting.
The book is especially for: People who are spiritually inquisitive or question major parts of their church's doctrines. Atheists and other "Nones." Students seeking fodder for late-night bull sessions. Seekers of truth. The book asks many questions and questions many traditional answers. It is not for people who seek certainty or believe they have found it.
