Bull at a New Gate

Bull at a New Gate: An Irreverent Guide to Churchology, by Vic Jameson (small HC, 1965, $1.50)

This is a small book, which is irreverent, funny, maybe offensive, and sometimes plain profound. As the author writes, "You will find in this book a message about the NEED of the church in general to be renewed, and a crying, groaning, aching need of the laity in particular to be taught, challenged, inspired, led, pushed, infused, vitalized, excited, shaken, encouraged, and hounded until something happens to them... It is written also to try to get the laymen out- not so much out of his home and into his pew, but out of his pew and into the world."

So what do you think? Look for this book in the religion section, avail. 1/25.
