Book excerpt: Tom Beaudoin's first book, Virtual Faith, celebrated the spiritual quest of Generation X and established his reputation as one of the most astute critics of contemporary faith and culture. In this collection of essays he reflects on the task and purpose of theology in a post-modern age. Beaudoin sketches a view of the theologian as a "witness to dispossession." This dispossession involves the letting go of status and power, but also the comfortable certainties of the past. Book jacket.
