GoodBookStall Review:
Far fewer people would be leaving church if they had read this book before closing the door. Here Dave Tomlinson, known for his seminal work The Post Evangelical helpfully reconstructs a credible Christianity for the doubting, questioning, and disillusioned Christian who is trying to reconnect with their first love of faith in today’s spiritual world. Using the principle of ‘thesis, antithesis and synthesis’ we find a real appreciation of the antithesis to faith and the synthesis which leads to the re-enchanting Christianity of the book title. Beautifully written with excellent illustrations from the first page, he helpfully leads the reader along a path he calls ‘progressive orthodoxy’, to face and explore many of the difficult theological issues which caused many Christians to give up the journey of faith. Masterful.
