The widening of political, racial, and religious differences often leads to an "us vs. them" mentality all too common today. But is there a better way? In The Sacred Overlap, author J.R. Briggs explores how God's divinity overlaps with his humanity and communicates a refreshing vision that embraces the tension of the both/and of God's presence in the world and in us. Briggs calls us to live in radical love and faithfulness between the extremes that can easily isolate and divide people across the church and throughout the world. This is not an approach that encourages us to take whatever bits we might choose from world religions, personal preferences, and ideologies and throw them into a cosmic blender for a tasty theological smoothie. Instead, The Sacred Overlap helps readers see that Christians are called to live with their feet firmly planted in two different worlds-both heaven and earth-living naturally with grace and truth can a Christian be a faithful witness in the way of Jesus.
