'Braving the Truth: Essential Essays for Reckoning with and Reimagining Faith' by Rachel Held EvansThis impressive collection celebrates the life and thoughts of late progressive Christian author Rachel Held Evans. The entries critique the evangelical Christianity in which Evans was raised but also make room for her own doubts and questions, Short entries from friends, thinkers, and teachers contextualize Held's essays and track their influence on contemporary Christian thought. The result is an excellent introduction to Evans and her powerful model of holding Christianity to account. more
University of Pennsylvania religion professor Weitzman traces in this sweeping account how the story of the 10 plagues of Egypt has been interpreted and imagined across time and space by Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars, poets, politicians, activists, and other groups.

But readers seeking spiritual self-help would be better served elsewhere. more
