Excellent book

This is a book which is well-written and in very simple language. It is is easy to understand and the reflection questions allow for group discussion following each chapter. When I first saw the title, I wasn't sold on the book. But since we have gotten into the book, I am enjoying it very much and can readily identify with a lot of the references to the past and how we need to up-date our thinking if the Church is to remain a viable entity in the world today.


Challenging and thoughtful

I finished this book, flipped it over and started reading it again. Morwood's message spoke to me in a profound and exciting way: I've struggled to reconcile my call to Catholicism with church doctrines that appear irrelevant or affirmatively harmful; Morwood provides a framework for "re-imaging" God, Jesus and Church in a manner that resonates deeply for me. The church scandals and the relentless drumbeat of Apologist/conservative theology had me deeply depressed about the church and my role in it; this book has me feeling more hopeful and excited about my faith than I have in a long time.

I hope that no one is dissuaded from reading this book by the vehemence of some of the critical reviews posted here. Sadly, I think some people let ideology impede open-minded engagement with some wonderfully rich and important ideas. (And it's clear by some comments that certain reviewers haven't even read the book!)

Great stuff -- highly recommended.

Tomorrow's Catholic offers a fascinating outline of contemporary cosmology that connects the message of Jesus and the spirituality of Pentecost to the world we live in today. A special focus is on expressing ancient truths in contemporary language.
