One Man’s Journey With The Bible
Moving from interpreting biblical texts through the lens of dogma and credal statements to connecting with the oneness of biblical characters and all of humanity through experiential faith.
Donald O’Dell holds a master’s degree from Princeton Theological Seminary and an undergraduate degree in history.
He was an active United Presbyterian minister – developing a “street-gang” ministry in Trenton, NJ, followed by pastoring 2 small congregations. He had a visceral spiritual experience during his recovery from alcoholism and came face-to-face with the difference between being religious and being spiritual. Semi-retired, he now lives in Western North Carolina.
I honestly believe when you read the book you will understand my message – the tension between religious beliefs/dogma and the love/peace of spirituality runs through both the Old and the New Testaments.
