Crazy Talk

<p>So much theology is confusing and intimidating. The concepts themselves are given weighty-sounding names such as incarnation and justification and the explanations of the concepts sometimes can be more confusing than the names.</p><p>Captivating entertaining and highly informative <i>Crazy Talk</i> helps readers navigate their way through that complexity and offers a vocabulary that dares (and equips!) its readers to embrace their own faith in a new well-informed way.</p><p>The purpose of <i>Crazy Talk</i> says editor Rolf A. Jacobson is to render the heart of our Christian theology in a form that is accessible and appealing to everyone. The format of the book is similar to that of a dictionary of theological terms but with a twist of humor! Each entry includes the name of the theological term an ironic definition of the term and a short humorous essay offering a fuller explanation of the term. In making the term understandable Jacobson concentrates on the big theological issue that is at stake in the term and why it matters.</p><p>This revised and expanded edition includes new and expanded entries and all new images.</p>
