by Arik Bjorn (Author)

"The R-Rated Theologian" is an anthology of unabashed Progressive Christian essays by Arik Bjorn, frequent contributor to Patheos and Forward Progressives.

From same-sex marriage to Heaven & Hell to the biblical canon itself, the author tackles all of the sacred cows of Christian theology--including the dreaded Mark of the Beast, 666. (Or is it 616?) While dodging Adam's snake and Revelation's horny beast, Bjorn discovers a commonsense Progressive Christianity, where it's perfectly acceptable to stand beneath a Cloud of Unknowing without an umbrella, yet where age-old standards like Bible chapter and verse notations are found wanting.

As author and creator of the website Christian Evolution, Eric Alexander, states in his introduction: "Arik is one of the most eloquent writers I know ... Arik's ideas are not so extreme as to disrespect or defile the Christian tradition, but they will push you to think in a considerate and educated way. He is one of today's true progressive leaders--pushing the envelope but not quite throwing it into the shredder."

Arik Bjorn has published nine books. His most recent title, UBER NIGHTS, is about his late-night rideshare adventures in the Deep South. In South Carolina, you never know if your next passenger will be a naked lady with a toothbrush, a banana spider, or a punch-drunk redneck.
