Out Of The Embers
$24.99
Deconstruction: Trendy brand name for falling away from belief in God? Or a process essential to authentic faith?
Liberation or trauma? Prison break or exile?
Its complicated. Just like you.
Christian history records a Great Reformation and a Great Awakening. But todays Great Deconstruction will surely leave an equally profound impact.
In Out of the Embers, Bradley Jersak explores the necessity, perils, and possibilities of the Great Deconstructionhow it has the potential to either sabotage our communion with God or infuse it with the breath of life, the light and life of Christ himself.
In this collection of vulnerable memoirs, philosophical memos, and candid provocations, Jersak resists both the hand-wringing urge to corral stray sheep and the exultant desire to play the happy-clappy Ex-vangelical cheerleader. He employs the wisdom and expertise of the great deconstructionistsChristianitys ancient influences (Moses, Plato, Paul, and the Patristics), beloved frenemies (from Voltaire to Nietzsche), and the masters of deconstruction (Dostoevsky, Kierkegaard, and Weil)to double down and deconstruct deconstruction itself.
Where is faith after deconstruction? The authors heart is to engage and empathize with the bereft and disoriented, stoking the brittle ashes for live embers. In this quest for the resilient gospel of the martyrs, the marginal, and those outside the threshold...inexplicably, in this liminal space, life stirs. A Light shines through the ashes. We find, often for the first time, that living connection Jersak calls presence in communion.
There is a sea change occurring across the Western church and civilization. Whether were watching a radical course correction or a complete collapse remains to be seen, and how it pans out will likely depend on how we see whats happening, who we are becoming, how we live in responseand, most important, where we find Christ situated in this storm.
