I just finished my last book, the last in a series of parallel novels to Ender’s Game. I am returning from my non-fiction hiatus, and I have picked A Generous Orthodoxy out of my stack. My wife bought it for me for Christmas. The subtitle alone makes me wish I had gone to some sort of a religious institution of education at some point: Why I Am a Missional, Evangelical, Post/Protestant, Liberal/Conservative, Mystical/Poetic, Biblical, Charismatic/Contemplative, Fundamentalist/Calvinist, Anabaptist/Anglican, Methodist, Catholic, Green, Incarnational, Depressed-yet-Hopeful, Emergent, Unfinished CHRISTIAN. I have finished the intro and Chapter 0, which was devoted entirely to talking me out of reading the book and into returning it for cash, but I fought through. I have already learned the difference between Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy, which still isn’t clear, but as I gain clarity, I will share my thoughts.
