Publisher's Description
What comes after deconstruction? How do we begin to pick up some of the pieces of a faith or religious life that we had held on to for so long? We Don't Trust Your Theology is one person's approach to starting the reconstruction work. Meant as a jumping off point, this book walks alongside the reader to give ideas, encouragement, and some personal stories on what that may look like.

““We don’t trust your theology.” He was asking hard questions and incorporating modern biblical scholarship into his faith. The result was an Evangelical deconstruction and reconstruction. This book is a model—not to be copied in all its conclusions but to be an inspiration for all of us to strive to be authentic Christians.”
“In this age when ‘deconstruction’ can be a philosophical position, or perhaps a religious reaction against conservatism, or even a meme on social media, Benson grapples with the aftermath of his own faith deconstruction by coming to terms with the very personal impact of frustration, disappointment, and a desire to find meaningful ways to address faith in the midst of life’s uncertainties. A recommended read for anyone genuinely seeking to find a path where there does not seem to be one.”
“This book is a warm and wise guide for anyone wondering whether to keep the faith. Benson recounts his own story of ‘deconstructing’ and ‘reconstructing’ his faith as he explores whether the Bible is literally true, who God is, how the church should address social stigma, and more. Why care? Because, as Benson says, ‘You are worth it. Knowing who you are and what you believe and adjusting that as you grow is worth it for you.’”
