51% Christian: Finding Faith after Certainty

God is not an idea. Christian faith is not a set of propositions you either believe or reject. According to a proper Trinitarian understanding, God is essentially relationship, a relationship of sheer, active, ecstatic, self-giving love.

This 51% Christian moniker is a ridiculous label with a deadly serious point. You now have permission to doubt, to question, to get angry at God. But, in the end, it’s not about you. Faith is about relationship: a living, daily relationship, based on trust, and active in concrete, daily practices.

Endorsements

"Mark Stenberg is a brilliant theologian. In 51% Christian he makes some of the most graceful and beautiful theology you could ever imagine extremely accessible without sacrificing depth and complexity. There is nothing bland or trite here. He fills me with hope. He is also hilarious. You have found a treasure here. Enjoy."

Excerpt from the Afterword

"We were getting caught up in the campaign of Christianity and losing the relationship. And that's what you've seen in this book. Mark understands the shame and manipulation and hand-cuffing morality of the faith we were handed—the "smells like" culture Christians are always trying to shill to each other. He knows those sort of tactics are only a temporary fix. But he also understands the grace."
