An Essential Read

This book is a timely and much-needed resource for the Church. Even if you haven’t heard the term ‘deconstruction’ as pertaining to the Christian faith, it’s highly likely you’ve seen its effect in your church, among family, or as prominent christians renounce their faith. In ‘The Deconstruction of Christianity’, Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett provide a overview of the philosophy of deconstruction, before moving to explain how it is being used today as a means through which christians methodically dismantle previously affirmed tenets of historical and biblical christianity.

Written specifically for the pastors, friends and family of those who are in the process of deconstruction, Alisa and Tim walk the reader through some of the reasons and explain how we can respond wisely and with compassion - as individuals and the broader Church.
Alisa and Tim approach this topic, fraught though it be, with grace and wisdom. They show why we shouldn’t use ‘deconstruction’ to describe a process of questioning or wrestling with our faith whereby it is being reformed in accordance with and under the authority of Scripture; and they offer hopeful examples of faithful christians who have wrestled with difficult questions, without leaving the faith.

As is the case with both Alisa and Tim’s individual endeavours, this book is bathed in scripture and grounded in its principles, which gives me great confidence to recommend it wholeheartedly.
