Purple Like Polka: Non-Spiritual Thoughts On Christian Spirituality

In this exciting and fresh exploration of Christian spirituality America’s favorite orthodox heretic J. Matthan Brown breaks through old boundaries and demonstrates quite convincingly that everything must change. Purple like Polka boldly repaints the Christian faith, taking the reader to new and often rocky heights in an effort to escape the flatness of american evangelicalism. While many authors narrowly focus on the church of the past or make grandiose predictions about the church of the future, Mr. Brown forces the reader to consider the church in the present tense. Through a powerful, yet subtle, form of careful deconstruction, he ingeniously avoids the idolatry of God–a problem which has plagued theists for thousands of years–and humbly kindles the flames of insurrection. What emerges is the beautiful and hopeful picture of a new kind of Christianity–a Christianity worth believing in–and the ever important reminder that, in the end, love wins.
