CURVEBALL When Your Faith Takes Turns You Never Saw Coming (or How I Stumbled and Tripped My Way to Finding a Bigger God)

Author and narrator Peter Enns--theologian, professor of biblical studies, and cohost of a popular podcast, THE BIBLE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE--once dreamed of being a major league pitcher. An injury, what he calls a curveball, destroyed those dreams. In his customary colloquial style, Enns recounts his experiences with moving away from baseball and from a rigid fundamentalist Christian perspective to one that is based on a broader interpretation of scripture and on love more than rules. Enns's approachable, often humorous, delivery enlivens the gravity of what he sees as the series of curveballs that influence everyone's life choices. A pdf of the notes from the print edition enhances Enns's narrative. S.G. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
