Coming This Week
On this Substack (Tov Unleashed) this week we continue with one book, add two new books, and set out our conclusions for our annual assessment of the best books we read this year. We are rounding the corner into 2024.
We begin the week with a heavy topic: After Fundamentalism. How does one heal from adverse religious experiences in high-control religious groups?
The term “Israel” — just what does it mean? Is it different from or the same as “Judean/Jew”? Paul J. Griffiths expands the meaning of Israel to see where we need to locate “Church” and “Synagogue”?
Our image-management culture prompts leaders to manage their image in a variety of ways. Philip Plyming’s new book proposes admitting the realities of life instead of managing our image. Join us for a discussion about Plyming’s wonderful new book.
Big day: Tov Unleashed/Jesus Creed Books of the Year. A very difficult decision this year.
