Subtitled, ‘an English professor’s journey into Christian faith’, this is the compelling story of a highly academic feminist whose speciality was the study of Queer Theory (a postmodern form of gay and lesbian studies). Rosaria Butterfield encountered real Christianity through the hospitality and kindness of a local Reformed pastor and found that her world turned upside down – the idea that Christianity, a religion that she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was, an idea that flew in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a “train wreck” at the hand of the supernatural. These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could.
This expanded edition features over 50 pages of bonus material, including:
