Made in Her Image: Exploring New Perspectives in the Bible and Christian History Facilitator Guide and Participant Resource Book
The understanding of God that many Christians insist is so clear in the Bible makes faith seem like an all-or-nothing proposition. When much of that rigid projection seems in doubt, it’s not surprising that many people leave behind this take-it-or-leave-it religion. Pastor Mark Feldmeir offers an introduction to a God that many people weren’t aware existed—a mysterious, uncontainable, still-active God who loves and cares for real people with real problems. Life after God offers glimpses of the ineffable God, who can emerge when we forget what we think we’re supposed to believe about God and open us up to the mystery, wonder, and compelling love we crave.

Religionless Studios was inspired by the musings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a theologian and activist, who imagined a “Religionless Christianity” – A Christianity that captured the heart of Christ’s teachings without all of the dogma and doctrines that religion has added.
Religionless Studios hopes to continue to imagine and embody this “Religionless Christianity” by creating a progressive and liberative Bible commentary.
Every Sunday (starting October 6th), leaders on Progressive Christianity's YouTube channel will move verse by verse through the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures to interpret it through the lens of Liberation Theology.
In addition to their weekly video Bible commentary, people can gain access to Progressive Christian resources (devotionals, study guides, and digital community) through Progressive Christianity's Patreon.
