A big thank you to all that braved the cold on Wednesday, May 13 and came out to hear David Tacey and join us at Readings in Hawthorn to launch his new book, Beyond Literal Belief: Religion as Metaphor. It was a great night with insightful and challenging comments from the man himself as well as renowned ABC Radio National presenter Rachael Kohn.

Head over to our facebook for some photos from the night and stay tuned for some videos as well.

Until then, Eureka Street has published a thorough review of David's book. Find it here. 

This book is a must-read. Find it here:

Beyond Literal Belief: Religion as Metaphor

David Tacey

In his groundbreaking new work, Australian scholar and practicing Catholic, David Tacey reveals the mystery of biblical language in a voice that is accessible, open, and poetic; and in a way that will challenge traditional and literal knowledge of the Bible.
 
Uncover the debate about the metaphorical nature of scripture and how, with the aid of contemporary thought and psychology, moving beyond literal thinking could save religion from its greatest enemy, itself.

Beyond Literal Belief will be available for purchase at the launch.
