New York Times Bestseller The renowned and beloved New York Times
bestselling author of An Altar in the World and Learning to Walk in
the Dark recounts her moving discoveries of finding the sacred in
unexpected places while teaching the world's religions to
undergraduates in rural Georgia, revealing how God delights in
confounding our expectations. Barbara Brown Taylor continues her
spiritual journey begun in Leaving Church of finding out what the
world looks like after taking off her clergy collar. In Holy Envy,
she contemplates the myriad ways other people and traditions
encounter the Transcendent, both by digging deeper into those
traditions herself and by seeing them through her students' eyes as
she sets off with them on field trips to monasteries, temples, and
mosques. Troubled and inspired by what she learns, Taylor returns
to her own tradition for guidance, finding new meaning in old
teachings that have too often been used to exclude religious
strangers instead of embracing the divine challenges they present.
Re-imagining some central stories from the religion she knows best,
she takes heart in how often God chooses outsiders to teach
insiders how out-of-bounds God really is. Throughout Holy Envy,
Taylor weaves together stories from the classroom with reflections
on how her own spiritual journey has been complicated and renewed
by connecting with people of other traditions--even those whose
truths are quite different from hers. The one constant in her
odyssey is the sense that God is the one calling her to disown her
version of God--a change that ultimately enriches her faith in
other human beings and in God.
