In Rescuing Religion John Van Hagen argues that psychological
theories and models of psychotherapy can help one hold on to a
religious worldview while simultaneously living in a world
increasingly described in scientific terms. Rescuing Religion
grapples with that tension as it focuses on science s recent
challenges to the historicity of the major Bible stories: Moses
never existed, Jesus did not start a church. Yet facing such
challenges presents us with an opportunity for religious growth. We
can now go behind those Bible stories and glimpse the storytellers
who in their own times faced enormous crises of faith. We can learn
from their struggles and be inspired to face our own global ones.
Like those ancient authors, we can search for God s power moving
through history, even as we realize that we, like them, can only
describe it in finite terms. Throughout the book, readers are
buoyed up by examples of remarkable individuals who have sensed and
described this movement.
