The
wilderness in the biblical book of Exodus was not just a geographic
place. It was also an experience that involved both the human
and the divine. The wilderness was an experience of confusion,
doubt, and even rebellion. When a 21st-century Christian
community faces its own wilderness, it wrestles with the
same issues and joins the children of Israel in crying "How long?" As
was the case with IT'S
A DANCE (Patrick Oden's first book), HOW LONG? puts theology
into an enjoyable, accessible narrative form. |
