Description
New York, NY: HarperOne (pub: March 12, 2019)
New in hardback.
The renowned and beloved Christian preacher and
New York Times
bestselling author of
An Altar in the World
recounts her moving discoveries of finding the sacred in unexpected places while teaching the world’s religions to undergraduates in Baptist-saturated rural Georgia, revealing how God delights in confounding our expectations.
Christians are taught that God is everywhere—a tenet that is central to Barbara Brown Taylor’s life and faith. In
Holy Envy
, she continues her spiritual journey, contemplating the myriad ways she encountered God outside of the church while teaching a college course on the world’s religions.
In her interfaith class, Barbara introduces her students to other religious traditions and accompanies them on field trips to a variety of venues of worship. Both she and her students ponder and debate how the knowledge and insights they have gained raise important questions about belief, and explore how different practices relate to their own faith. Inspired by these intellectual and spiritual discussions, Barbara turns once again to the Bible for guidance, to see what secrets lay buried there.
Throughout
Holy Envy
, Barbara weaves together stories from her classroom with reflections on how her own spiritual journey has been challenged and renewed by connecting with people of other traditions—and by meeting God in her communion with them.
At the heart of her odyssey is her trust in God and knowledge that God is always with her. Barbara contends that it is the Lord who pushes her beyond her comfortable boundaries and calls for her to “disown” her version of the divine—a change that ultimately deepens her relationship with both the world and with God.
BARBARA BROWN TAYLOR
is the author of fourteen books, including
An Altar in the World
, which won the Silver Nautilus Award;
Leaving Church
, which received an Author of the Year Award from the Georgia Writers Association and was named Theologos Best General Interest Book; and
Learning to Walk in the Dark
, which was named one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Religion Books of 2014 and received a 2015 Living Now Book Award. Taylor recently retired as the Butman Professor of Religion at Piedmont College, where she taught since 1998. She lives on a working farm in rural northeast Georgia with her husband Ed.
