The Awakening of Hope: Why We Practice a Common Faith

Book Review: The Awakening of Hope: Why We Practice a Common Faith by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove - a modern narrative form of catechism teaching. This form is highly influenced by the new monastic movement and Wilson-Hartgrove's strong commitment to place. It feels more like theological reflections by Eugene Peterson or Wendell Berry more than a traditional catechism. And that is partially successful. I think it is worth reading for the ways in which he is trying to contextualize basic Christian education to his own context. But there are places where I think he goes too far and many places where I think he does not bring up essential parts of basic Christian theology. I hate complaining about what authors do not write, but it feels inevitable here.
