Publisher's Summary

These days, there’s no dirtier word than “divisive”, especially in religious and political circles. Claiming a controversial opinion, talking about our differences, even sharing our doubts can be seen as threatening to the goal of unity. But what if unity shouldn’t be our goal? 

In Holy Disunity: How What Separates Us Can Save Us, Layton E. Williams proposes that our primary calling as humans is not to create unity but rather to seek authentic relationship with God, ourselves, one another, and the world around us. And that means actively engaging those with whom we disagree. Our religious, political, social, and cultural differences can create doubt and tension, but disunity also provides surprising gifts of perspective and grace. By analyzing conflict and rifts in both modern culture and Scripture, Williams explores how our disagreements and differences - our disunity - can ultimately redeem us.

Compromised liberal Christian teaching

We don’t like what god asks so we twist it
This book is about theology but the theology it teaches is about selling out your faith to a soft version that puts humans on top and Jesus on the bottom.

It even talks about making idols of gods gifts but hides the biggest issue, making idols of ourselves

If you want compromises liberal Christian teaching , buy this book, it will make you feel good for 5 mins but it won’t get you closer to Jesus or help you behold him or know his name
