Cafe Theology<br />
Exploring Love, the Universe and Everything<br />
Michael Lloyd<br />
‘If theology doesn’t stretch our minds, it probably won’t stretch our lives.’<br />
In Cafe Theology, Mike Lloyd invites us to grab a cappuccino and travel with<br />
him from Creation to New Creation. He presents a rich and human view <strong>of</strong><br />
life and <strong>of</strong> the Life-Giver using the deep diversity <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> traditions,<br />
poetry, comedy, paintings, novels, cartoons, philosophy and films. Whether<br />
you‘ve been on the <strong>Christian</strong> journey your whole life, just starting out or<br />
haven’t even bought a ticket, this extraordinary book is applicable.<br />
The title Cafe Theology was chosen <strong>for</strong> two reasons. First, it implies that the<br />
book is accessible. The word ‘theology’ makes people think ‘dry, dusty,<br />
academic, irrelevant, and incomprehensible’, whereas the word ‘cafe’ makes<br />
people think ‘warm, relaxed, fun – like having a chat with a friend’. Secondly,<br />
it implies the sort <strong>of</strong> theology that values the ordinary pleasures <strong>of</strong> life. People<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten think that being a <strong>Christian</strong> involves focussing on religious things, like<br />
Bible study, prayer, worship etc to the exclusion <strong>of</strong> the things they really enjoy<br />
doing. Mike believes that this is radically wrong and he presents a view <strong>of</strong> life<br />
that opens up more dimensions <strong>for</strong> us to live in – not fewer.<br />
So if you are looking <strong>for</strong> a fun way into theology this book could be the one<br />
you’ve been looking <strong>for</strong>!<br />
