  Religion Unburdened by Belief -...

  Religion Unburdened by Belief poses the question: what would religion without belief actually look like? If you stripped away the creeds, the doctrines, the articles of faith—what’s left? Is there anything left? 
  The book takes up this question with the Way of Open Inquiry, a thought experiment. It’s an attempt to design religion from a blank slate. At stake is how you live, what you're willing to give up, and who you'll be on the other side. What would religion look like if you built it from the essentials? 
  Where do you even start? What do humanity’s oldest religious practices—trance, ritual, spirit-work—still have to teach us? Is there a role for altered states—meditation, say—and if so, what is it? Should psychedelics play a role, and how? How do you design something that’s both safe enough to practice and transformative enough to matter? How do you build community around lived experience rather than shared doctrine? What would it mean to design a religion that resists its own codification? 
  Consider this an invitation. Faith optional. Courage required.

  In God’s Good Image - How Jesus...

  J.W. Buck

  Cultural identity matters—to us and to Jesus. Culture is all around us. Nothing we think, do, or say exists outside of it. But the story of God is clear: We are all made in God’s good image, and God’s people are meant to be a diverse community. Looking to the example of Jesus, author J. W. Buck offers practical insights into how cultural identity fits into our walk as Christians. No matter where we come from and no matter how complex our cultural narratives, the Scriptures point to the One who embodied a particular identity—of a Jewish man in first-century Palestine—in order to shape our own.  ​ Jesus teaches those formed by majority culture to humbly embrace their identity as they foster space for others. And he empowers those from minority cultures to resist pressure to assimilate in unhealthy ways and instead live into their God-given identity. God dignifies our culture and wants us to shape it to look more like Jesus. We are meant to be like Jesus in our home culture, in our heart language, and throughout our collective journey to understand how our diversity points us to a better expression of God’s good image.
