The good news of Christian faith suggests something different. Each and everyone of us is invited to dance with God. Each of us can dance. Each of us can do theology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Theology, long seen as the domain of professors, scholars, and clergy, is actually the work of all God's people. \u003ci\u003eDancing with God\u003c\/i\u003e uses the metaphor of dance to help readers--especially those without a theological background--approach the discipline of theology as something we all do, and not only something to believe. And doing theology is the practice of hope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book explores the way Anglicans approach theology. The good news, according to Johnson, is not about the assurance of getting things right. It comes, instead, from considering our texts, creeds, and liturgies as invitations to dance with the God of abundant life. Beautifully and accessibly written, \u003ci\u003eDancing with God\u003c\/i\u003e makes an excellent book for individual or parish study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Emerson Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morehouse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.58w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819221124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohnson, Jay Emerson:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJay Emerson \u003cb\u003eJohnson\u003c\/b\u003e teaches at the Pacific School of Religion and Graduate Theological Union, while serving as associate clergy at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Berkeley, CA.
