Christianity is full of big, holy questions:
Who am I? Who is God? Who is Jesus? Who is the Holy Spirit? What is the church? What is the Bible? What is worship? What is prayer? Where is God when bad things happen? Why did Jesus die? What is resurrection? What is baptism? What is communion? What happens when we die? What is a saint? What is sin? What is forgiveness? How do we care for each other How do we care for creation? What is the Kingdom of God?
New Directions for Holy Questions: Progressive Christian Theology for Families by Anita Peebles and Claire Brown is a theology primer for children that explores these holy questions. Through an open, progressive lens, weaving together prayer practices and pondering questions with Bible stories and theology, we invite you to explore new directions!
“New Directions for Holy Questions will be a go-to resource for my family. The stories, questions, and practices within these pages are sure to spark spiritual wisdom and enliven the theological imaginations of all who read them, no matter how young or old they may be.”
—David M. Csinos, associate professor of Practical Theology at Atlantic School of Theology, founder of Faith Forward, and author of Little Theologians
“The ‘new direction’ that is being described in this book is the idea that adults and children can grow spiritually as they wrestle together with their responses to questions of faith. Stories from the Bible, contemporary stories of justice, and spiritual practices appropriate for all ages are on the rich menu of this imaginative resource.”
—Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Caldwell, McCormick Theological Seminary, professor emerita
