Is it possible our world is just one big high school lunchroom?
In a world fraught with polarization and division-where we form separate tables based on political beliefs, skin color, economic status, theological ideas, and personal preferences-can we find a way to live differently, more aligned with the ways of Jesus?
In Lunchroom Theology, Heather Gorman and Mark Nelson confront our societal and theological rifts, and by weaving together scriptural and sociological insights, they expose the many ways our contemporary divisions are mirrored by the church today. Drawing extensively from the life of Jesus and the practices of his early followers, they propose a better way to live in the lunchroom. They beckon us to embody Jesus' John 17 prayer for oneness and to think faithfully and creatively about how to push tables together in our fractured world.
