Theology: Out of the fast lane

Sometimes a book for review hits my doorstep at just the right time; Slow Theology is one of them! It arrived a day or so after I had returned from a relaxing fortnight’s holiday, and I was about to go up a gear or two in preparation for a busy period that was just around the corner. This book made me pause and re-evaluate why I felt I needed to be in such a rush.

The book begins with the classic quote from J.I. Packer: “Live slowly enough to be able to think deeply about God.”

There is something counter-intuitive about this project as is suggested by the subtitle: Eight Practices for Resilient Faith in a Turbulent World.
