Poems Piety and Psyche: Progressive Poems for Rebellious Christians

Confronting the crisis facing Christianity this anthology of post-modern progressive Christian poems with a rebellious tone demythologizes Christian theology. Poems Piety and Psyche is a brave departure from literal Christian dogma and challenges the outdated ideas of doctrine and Scripture to disclose hidden truths still valid today. This volume is an attempt to revitalize the church and reshape its future for current congregations and the missing generation of young people scientifically literate who are exiled from the church through its inability to absorb contemporary teaching of biblical criticism the reality of evolution the false idea of a God up there and an institutional insistence on an unconvincing supernatural theology. Christianity must be adapted to incorporate these and change or it will die. David Keighley reclaims the original gospel message and takes us on a turbulent and challenging journey to the heart of what it is to be truly Christian. There is in these poems an emphasis on the teaching of the historical Jesus while rejecting nature miracles the virgin birth and bodily resurrection. Jesuss divinity is that we can see God in him in the same way as we see God in the lives of each other if we look closely enough.
