My great friend, Pete Rollins, has a new blog from his publisher, Paraclete Press, that simply looks cool. Can't wait to see Pete adding stuff! AND, the BIG news is that his SECOND BOOK, "The Fidelity of Betrayal: The Ir/Religious Heart of Christianity" will be released this coming spring (2008). You can PRE-ORDER it at Paraclete or Amazon. I am really excited for Pete and look forward to reading it. Here is a summary about the book from Pete's site:
"The Fidelity of Betrayal: Towards a Church Beyond Belief
What if one of the core elements of a radical Christianity lay in a demand that we betray it, while the ultimate act of affirming God required the forsaking of God? And what if fidelity to the Judeo-Christian scriptures demanded their renunciation?
In short, what if the only way of finding real faith involved betraying that faith with a kiss, like Judas did to Christ? The author of last year’s much-talked-about debut, How (Not) to Speak of God—is at it again.
Employing the insights of apophatic theology, Soren Kierkegaard, and deconstructive theory, The Fidelity of Betrayal seeks to explore the subversive and clandestine nature of a Christianity that dwells within religious institutions while simultaneously undermining them."
