Our latest review from @drbobcornwall.bsky.social covers @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social’s insightful and highly original book “Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis After Losing Faith in the Bible” (@eerdmansbooks.bsky.social).

We all know that Christian nationalists are running the White House. But do you know the philosophy that undergirds their policy? It’s called Christian Reconstructionism, and Trump’s cabinet are its fan boys. Here’s what Christian Reconstructionism is, comes from, and where its taking us ➡️

Knock at the Sky: Seeking God in Genesis after Losing Faith in the Bible Grant addresses recovering fundamentalists, inviting them to rediscover the relevance of Scripture throughout the pages of "Knock at the Sky," writes Emery J. Cummins. @eerdmansbooks.bsky.social @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social

“Much of the right-wing Christian culture and theology that we recognize today—the tradwives and theo bros, the New Apostolic Reformation, the Heritage Foundation—finds its roots in Christian Reconstructionism and the thinking of Rushdoony and Van Til.” – @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social

God is relentlessly generous, not afraid of our questions. @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social invites us to approach Scripture with curiosity & humility. episodes.fm/1566243892?v...

"Katharine Bushnell,... In her 1921 commentary, God’s Word to Women, she painstakingly retranslated and corrected 100 Bible passages that referred to women and women’s prescribed roles within the home and church." @sojo.net @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social sojo.net/magazine/jan...

Yeah, @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social. I like this one.

Some new books! 📚 @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social @jwhawthorne.bsky.social @ivpress.bsky.social @ebyrbooks.bsky.social

Just had a fascinating conversation with @lizcharlottegrant.bsky.social about her book, Knock at the Sky. It was fun to take a trip far off the beaten path of topics I usually cover, and dive deep into the literary text of Genesis and how it has been interpreted and applied over thousands of years.

I hate to crosspost, but masks are coming off and Fundamentalist Twitter is realizing that some folks who think America should be run as a Christian nation also have other thoughts that may or may not be almost verbatim Hitler quotes.

yes this is a sequel to All Dogs Go To Heaven

All Nazis Go To Hell

And Jesus entered the temple and said to the money changers, "You are an important part of the local economy and I'm looking forward to working with you"

Shhh don’t tell my kids but I got us Nuggets tickets for January and I’M SO EXCITED!

Well now it's Muppet Christmas Carol time and it's my annual tradition of gassing the shit out of this movie. Keep an eye out in the opening montage for the muppet dumping a chamber pot full of banana peels into the street.

She’s not on Bluesky yet, but my dear friend Liz’s forthcoming book “Knock at the Sky” releases on January 7th + I can’t sing its praises enough. This is a work of imagination and curiosity and beauty.

🤢 Just no.

🧵To those who libbed out and forgot about 1/2 of our nation during this recent election (me 🙋🏻‍♀️): remember that the Republican win comes at a cost —to them, not just to us who disagree + voted opposite. They may feel justified, but a revenge win only yields bitterness, not joy. This thanksgiving… 1/

Hi, my name is Liz, I’m a recovering conservative evangelical. Once, an essay I wrote purity culture queen Elisabeth Elliot went evangelical viral. This Jan., I’m releasing my first book, KNOCK AT THE SKY: SEEKING GOD IN GENESIS AFTER LOSING FAITH IN THE BIBLE. (Yes, conservatives will hate it. 😋)

I’m starting to think way too many people were cheering for the Empire in Star Wars.

A rap battle is two men writing poems about each other

Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)
