Danielle Shroyer wants to change the way you think about God.
In The Boundary-Breaking God, Shroyer proposes a central thesis: that God is about expansion, about movement, about breaking down walls and muddying boundaries. In seven brief chapters, she takes this thesis and shows us what it looks like when applied to issues of social justice, diversity, church politics, pastoral ministry and even eschatology. She calls upon the reader to live into the resurrection, and away from bigotry, fear, and passive acceptance of systems of oppression.
The book reads like a series of seven sermons, each chapter a well-constructed little gem with illustrations from Shroyer's own life as well as carefully selected Biblical passages and references to a variety of theologians and scholars. It comes across as a light, easy read, which belies the careful construction of Shroyer's argument and her clear homiletic skill. The reader finds herself accepting the thesis, perhaps without considering the weight of what is being proposed: an alternate view of reality, a new set of spectacles with which to view God's work in the world.
At a quick 125 pages, it's worth picking this up even if you already have a few stacks around the house awaiting your attention ... if for no other reason than to consider how your life might be different if you took the book's proposition seriously.
