Description

Do you wonder why some people you know hold theological and political views that blow your mind but they find quite reasonable?

Today, Christians are at odds over how to understand the Bible, atonement, and salvation of non-Christians.

They are also polarized over issues such as same-gender marriage, income inequality, and health care.

Two social science models, Nurturant and Authoritative, explain this divide.

Values are at the heart of our disagreements. Nurturants prize empathy and cooperation while Authoritatives cherish obedience to law and order.

Each group has distinct core values and these lead them to embrace different theological, moral, and political views.

This book explains the divide and makes the case that Jesus embodied the Nurturant way of life.

He modeled empathy, grace, forgiveness, and care for those beyond his own tribe.

The Nurturant and Authoritative approaches have competed for thousands of years but contemporary research shows that the Nurturant way of life produces better mental and spiritual health as well as superior communities in which to live.
