From London to New York to Ann Arbor, people are
gathering in pubs and bars to communicate, connect, and learn from one
another over the topic of religion, of all things. In Pub Theology,
pastor, writer, and pub theologian Bryan Berghoef draws from his own
experience in one such setting in northern Michigan. Berghoef contends
that for too long the church has insisted on setting the terms for how
one can find and encounter God. Yet what if God is to be found in places
we haven't been looking at all: in a coworker who doesn't believe in
God, in a Buddhist neighbor, in a friend who prefers a yoga studio to a
sanctuary?This book will move readers to shift toward a more chastened,
humble, and inviting faith. A faith that seeks not to teach, but to
learn; not to speak, but to listen. A faith that will have a seat at the
table in the important religious conversations our world is
having.Real-life stories gleaned from conversations and encounters
during pub theology gatherings, combined with the author's own
experience in grappling with these issues, make for an intriguing and
enlightening read.So what are you waiting for? Pull up a chair and join
the conversation!
