Other books
Jason turned parts of his PhD on Biocentric Christianity into a short book, accompanied by one documenting the history of the Adelaide Ecofaith Community. A third uncovers the horror within the readings set for churches around Easter time, which consistently seek to exclude people, and Jesus’ radically inclusive response. Still coming is Christian Sex Today: Lessons from Moses, Paul, Jesus and Darwin (working title)
Worshipping Evolution's God
Christians worshipping God as part of life, not the centre of it.
What does it mean for humans to accept that we are not the centre of life, but continue to worship God in a tradition which has assumed that we are?
How do we worship the God of this evolving life? Why is it so hard to get babies out, and why are there so many weeds?
Why do we sin? How does our new understanding of our brain and its evolution help us answer this, and what do we do about it?
Are we inherently selfish and violent? What do we make of the whole story of Easter, seen through the eyes of a God who loves other animals as much as us, and never asked for ritual sacrifices of the innocent? What did Jesus make of Easter?
Why are we here? Is there an “after here?”
What do post-Darwinian Christians make of sex?
A Walk in the Park
Adelaide's Ecofaith Worship Community
This is a potted history of the first couple of years of the Adelaide ecofaith community, which I wrote in my final months there.
As of 2013 the community is still meeting.
This e-book doesn't handle the original image layout brilliantly, so if you buy it let me know and I'll also send you a full colour pdf.
