GOD LAUGHS & PLAYS
Churchless Sermons in Response to the Preachments of the Fundamentalist Right
Bill McKibben in Resurgence: “This is the book for everyone who is allergic to what often passes for Christianity but attracted to Jesus. Beautifully written and wonderfully, humorously, deeply felt... Duncan is a scandal both to the institutional church and to secular snobs: a truly dangerous man.”
Christian Century: “This is a basic text for anyone who has the slightest interest in the revolutionary and paradoxical words and acts of Yeshua ben Joseph… Christians of every stripe should pause and read this startling and refreshing voice from beyond orthodoxy and religious politics.”
Brother David Steindl-Rast: “Beware: David James Duncan is a mystic — unabashedly so. And in reading this book… you may well discover your own mystic consciousness. The world’s future depends on this consciousness, and you will find it shining forth from every page.”
Bloomsbury Review: “This book could be thought of as the short-subject version of how to live fearlessly in scary times… Duncan inspires readers to look at all the shades of dark and light, depth and surface, beauty and ugliness, entering a broader consciousness and renegotiating the limited contract that is mortal life.”
