Wholehearted Faith

Mehr zum Buch

A touching series of essays exploring a path forward in Christianity beyond conservative evangelicalism. Despite her passing at 37, Rachel Held Evans's brave outlook is beautifully captured in this collection. Her prose is noted for its poetry, revealing a deeply funny, irreverent, curious, wise, forgiving, and nonjudgmental spirit. Recognized for her theologically astute and profoundly honest writings, Evans has inspired many Christians in their pursuit of a just and loving faith. At the time of her tragic death in 2019, she was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of close friend Jeff Chu, her unfinished work has been woven with other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays. These writings pose candid questions about the narratives we’ve been told and those we create regarding faith, identity, and the world. This collection speaks to doubters, dreamers, seekers, and sojourners alike—those yearning for spiritual wholeness and those wounded by the Church yet unable to abandon the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Evans wrestles with God’s grace, examines the Church’s role, and delves into universal questions of becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate exploration awaits readers.
