<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>"A lay' theology from the gut and not simply from the head and from the street and not only from the library. God is wrestled with and not simply known in quiet certainty.The pain of life is faced in hope of healing and transformation."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Pub Theology: Where Potato Wedges and a Beer are a Eucharistic Experience" is a new book now available, edited by myself and Irene Alexander. In a pretty ordinary pub, the Crown Hotel, in suburban Brisbane, a small group of friends organised a 'theology-on-tap' event. Since 2014 there have been close to fifty presentations. In this book some twenty presenters have written up their talks on a wide range of topics including: money, wealth, and a simple life-style; reading one's culture; issues of dislocation and belonging; medicine and healing; the dark night of the soul; a theology of weakness; issues in marriage and divorce; engagement with indigenous communities; unemployment issues; working in the juvenile justice system; downward-mobility; issues in a life of integrity; and many more. All the presenters gave their talk within a particular frame: intersecting their individual story in relation to the larger story of theology and spirituality. Thus, each talk has both a deeply personal "ringtone," as well as links to wider traditions. I hope you enjoy it.</p><p><br></p><p>A unique collage of voices of professionals as they intersect their life issues, struggles and pain with their faith traditions. This results in a grounded and lived theology that stares real life in the face, is self-disclosing, and hopeful. These voices may well inspire you to a deeper spiritual journey. </p><p><br></p><p>Here are the voices of professionals as they intersect their life issues, struggles and pain with their faith traditions.
