Currently Reading: White Rage
I just finished White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson. This isn’t the first book I’ve read about the history of systemic, anti-Black racism in the United States, but it is the most hard-hitting I’ve read so far. Anderson refutes the conventional narrative of linear progress towards racial equality that most Americans, myself…

A Must-Read Book for Ex-Mormons: Recovering Agency by Luna Lindsey (Review)
I do not use the phrase “must-read” lightly. There are very few books that I think every single person — or at least every single member of a given group — can benefit from. After all, we’re all different people with different intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs. But I genuinely believe that every person who…

I Read Three of the Most Highly Recommended Beginner Books on Wicca
I’m at a point right now where I’m trying to figure out which religious framework is the best fit for my spiritual life. (In case that wasn’t clear from the fact that I literally run a blog about exploring different religions.) Although I love the rich history and culture of the Catholic/Anglican environment I’ve spent most…

Book Review: Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas by Elaine Pagels
“Spurred on by personal tragedy and new scholarship from an international group of researchers, Pagels returns to her investigation of the ‘secret’ Gospel of Thomas, and breathes new life into writings once thought heretical. As she arrives at an ever-deeper conviction in her own faith, Pagels reveals how faith allows for a diversity of interpretations,…

Book Review: The Gospel of Mary of Magdala by Karen L. King
“Lost for more than fifteen hundred years, the Gospel of Mary is the only existing early Christian gospel written in the name of a woman. Unlike the controversial ‘Jesus’ Wife’ gospel fragment, the Gospel of Mary does not claim Mary was married to Jesus. But it does show her to be an important disciple to…

Book Review: The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels
Today I want to talk about G N O S T I C I S M. Every time you read the word G N O S T I C I S M, imagine that you’re hearing me say it in a hushed, fearful whisper, while somewhere in the distance a funeral bell tolls. A cloud crosses momentarily…

Book Review: Listening To The Light by Jim Pym
“Quakerism has been a source of inspiration for over 300 years. Combining spirituality with the practical life, its insights have a universal appeal that is particularly relevant to today’s world. Quakers deeply value inner peace and tranquility and believe that there is “that of God” within us all. They also have a compassionate determination to…

Book Review: The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions by Marcus J. Borg and N. T. Wright
“Was Jesus born of a virgin? Did he know he was the Messiah? Was he bodily resurrected from the dead? Did he intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was Jesus God? In The Meaning of Jesus two leading Jesus scholars with widely divergent views go right to the heart of these questions and others, presenting the…
