This book is written with a pastoral heart, however accuracy for terms is there and the author does not fall on emotional arguments or shy away from difficult questions.

It's a new concept for me to read a "theological novel" but it truly was such a thing. It had both interpersonal dynamics and also theological conversations.

It made clear for me that we don't struggle with concepts and different views in a sterile academic environment but we face these challenges in our day to day lives limited by time, responsibilities and our own energy and character.

It made me realize that such a journey takes time and good friendships are of utmost importance.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is brave enough to take the journey in further understanding biblical doctrines. It is not far to say that raising objections without having read at least some of the answers makes one fail the "do your research properly" test.

Cartea surprinde povestea unui pastor care in anii 70 era student la seminar si a ajuns la interviu pt o biserica, era prin anul 3 de studii, si la interviul cu comitetul a fost intrebat "tinere, esti calvinist?" El nici nu stia ce inseamna asta! El le raspunde "cu siguranta nu! si nu vad niciun suport biblic pt asta!" Dupa interviu il mustra constiinta ca a raspuns asa si incepe sa discute cu colegii si profesorii ce inseamna asta si descopera pas cu pas doctrinele harului. Partea foarte faina e ca nu e o carte doar de teologie, ci povesteste calatoria lui.

M-a facut mai mult sa constientizez ca fiecare dintre noi cand discutam despre teme de astea nu se intampla intr-un mediu steril, pur academic, ci printre evenimentele vietii, cu oameni normali, cu puncte tari si puncte slabe. El isi gaseste viitoare sotie in timpul studiilor, este chemat ca pastor la o alta biserica, biserica mica de sat trece printr-o trezire spirituala, la facultate colegul lui de camera era cam imatur spiritual. In timp ce mintea lui nu il lasa linistit ci sapa in continuare sa afle ce e aia "calvinist" ca sa afle daca e sau nu, el are de navigat si toate provocarile vietii ce tin de pastorala, prietenii, familie, examene, studii.

Cartea m-a facut sa constientizez tot mai mult componenta reala a vietii in orice demers de genul cand cautam un raspuns. Calatoria se poate intinde pe luni / ani de zile pentru ca desi intrebarea noastra poate fi importanta, viata nu se opreste in loc pana aflam noi raspunsul Gasesti cartea pe Kindle
