The Great Dance: The Christian Vision Revisited

Many people can’t see the relevance of theology to everyday life. In The Great Dance, C. Baxter Kruger takes the historic doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation, shakes them free of their academic dust, and shows how they unlock the hidden truth of our ordinary lives. From motherhood to baseball, from relationships and music to golf and gardening, Kruger shows how our human existence needs be understood as participation in the life of the Father, Son and Spirit. Step by step, Kruger walks us through the stratagems of evil and the messes we make of our lives. More importantly, he explains why we hurt, what we are really after and how to get there, and why faith in Jesus Christ is so critical for abundant life. Written with pace and poetry and winsome grace, The Great Dance is the voice of the ancient church speaking to us across the ages through the pen of a Southerner who loves life. This is theology at its very best—steeped in tradition, yet unfamiliar and exciting, even revolutionary; deeply personal and honest, yet universally relevant.
