When a"liberal" argues for the recovery of the language of "sin" and "salvation", you notice. And when she titles a chapter, "Sin: Our Only Hope," you want to read further if only to find out what her counter-intuitive, contrarian angle is. It turns out that her perspective is a very insightful one. Taylor acknowledges that the popular notion of sin needs to be jettisoned -- it is itself sinful, you might say -- but not the fundamental concept of something being seriously wrong that needs to be righted and that the righting of it involves not just gradual improvement but a transformation of the human spirit that happens when we are in touch with the transcendent in a way that enables us to acknowledge that we've been out of touch with reality in a serious way. As long as we deny that there's anything wrong (recall John Cleese's "It's only a flesh wound"), then we will never seek or be open to a transformation of our fundamental life orientation (hence "Sin is our only hope"). When "sin" disappears from our vocabulary, then what is wrong gets explained in medical therapeutic terms (a "no fault" approach in which we are victims of external forces) or legal terms (an "all fault" approach in which we freely choose to make harmful decisions). Taylor argues that only a depth understanding of "sin" allows for the paradoxical nature of what we're talking about, for the complicity of ego and will in our refusal to acknowledge that anything is wrong, and for the hope of transformation -- not in any neat and simple sense, but in a deep and real sense nonetheless. If there's nothing wrong with you or your life or people who think like you do -- if it's everyone else in the world who's wrong -- then you can skip this book. But if you are among those who are not satisfied with overly simple medical and/or legal explanations of bad acting in our disjointed world and are willing to entertain the notion that in totally rejecting "the language of sin and salvation", we threw the baby out with the bathwater, you might find this a stimulating read.

Barbara Brown Taylor has never failed to give me new insights on an old subject. She does it again in Speaking of Sin. Very enjoyable reading, challenging questions, and down to earth wisdom inform, enlighten, and encourage readers to evaluate and reconsider ancient, traditional, and current understandings/misunderstandings of sin. History and traditions inform the present, which is informing the future now. As the author points out, many of us have avoided speaking of sin, and she offers a treasury of help in confronting the subject, and ourselves.

I am a big fan of authors who have the ability to express great ideas succinctly, and BBT once again proves herself to be masterful in this regard. This short read gets to the heart of one of the greatest problems with the church today, and I am going to be reccomending it to friends of all faith traditions.It only took a few hours to read, but I predict that I will be wrestling with the contents for the next few years, if not the rest of my life. Do yourself a favor and read it!

This book talks about the elimination of the word "sin" in our comtemporary language. She addresses what effect this has had on individuals and society. She has a powerful story to tell! I belong to a Unitarian Universalist Church and we practice a modern form of religion. We use wisdom of the past, science, sociology, current events, and our own personal experience to inform us. Due to our modern practice of religion, we have dropped religious language. I do believe in my faith's views and practices, but I think Barbara Taylor is on to something.

As always, so good. If you're uninitiated to BBTaylor, check out her sermons on YouTube. You'll know immediately that she has a way with words…..and ideas…..and important truths…… A rather short book -- loaded with content (as always) and a powerful, meaningful slant on sin. Without leaving you full of guilt -- just a burning desire to absorb the full implications of sin, confession, penance, and salvation.

To my mind and heart, Barbara brown Taylor is unsurpassed in exploring and elucidating the centralities of Christian faith. Without flourish, she cuts to the center of belief and the essentials of what it means to be a human being in search of truth. The only writer who comes to mind for me as a companion to Brown Taylor is Frederick Buechner. It was a blessed day for me when an acquaintance first mentioned her writings.

As I have come to expect from Brown Taylor, this slim little book is packed full of concepts that require me to slow down and think about what she is saying. I really enjoy the way she approaches a thought from several different angles."People hear the guilt coming and they leave the room. They are tired of being judged and threatened by Christians who say"love" and do fear."Also, after years of liberal-arts education, she gave me the most useful definition of "post-modern" I've ever seen:"My own working definition of it is that the modern age is over-the age in which we believed in the power of the state, or the academy, or the church to bring out the best in us. In the age just past, nationalism has brought us Hitler, science has brought us the atom bomb, and religion has brought us some really awful television programming, not to mention apartheid or the civil war in Northern Ireland. Humanity has turned out to he hard to perfect, and the old structures we relied on to do so have let us down.""The threat of sin and the promise of salvation sound too much like part of the old control mechanism for keeping people in line, which has failed even at the highest echelons of church leadership."Read if: You are interested in chewy and humane theological writing. You have a lot of patience for thinking.Skip if: You are uninterested in theology.Also read:The Amber Spyglass: His Dark Materials for a mirror-universe vision of sin which involves all the post-modern thinking Brown Taylor is talking about.
