In this mind-bending exploration of traditional Christianity,
firebrand Peter Rollins turns the tables on conventional wisdom,
offering a fresh perspective focused on a life filled with love.
Peter Rollins knows one magic trick--now, make sure you watch
closely. It has three parts: the Pledge, the Turn, and the
Prestige. In "Divine Magician," each part comes into play as he
explores a radical view of interacting with the world in love.
Rollins argues that the Christian event, reenacted in the
Eucharist, is indeed a type of magic trick, one that is echoed in
the great vanishing acts performed by magicians throughout the
ages. In this trick, a divine object is presented to us (the
Pledge), disappears (the Turn), and then returns (the Prestige).
But just as the returned object in a classic vanishing act is not
really the same object--but another that looks the same--so this
book argues that the return of God is not simply the return of what
was initially presented, but rather a radical way of interacting
with the world. In an effort to unearth the power of Christianity,
Rollins uses this framework to explain the mystery of faith that
has been lost on the church. In the same vein as Rob Bell's
bestseller "Love Wins," this book pushes the boundaries of
theology, presenting a stirring vision at the forefront of
re-imagined modern Christianity.
As a dynamic speaker as he is in writing, Rollins examines
traditional religious notions from a revolutionary and refreshingly
original perspective. At the heart of his message is a life lived
through profound love. Just perhaps, says Rollins, the radical
message found in Christianity might be one that the church can show
allegiance to.
