Story and Table

For millennia, religious storytelling has been a driving force in shaping communities throughout the world. What stories do Christians tell? Central to Christian storytelling are stories about the Bible, the gospel, salvation, atonement, and an afterlife. Do these stories lead to human flourishing or harm? Mike Roth examines this question, covering a broad swath of Christian thought in a manner that is concise and practical. Story and Table presents an evolving, nonviolent Christianity that sets inclusive, loving tables, around which humans are freed and inspired to flourish.
