The Deconstruction of Christianity: What It Is, Why It's Destructive, and How to Respond by Alisa Childers, Tim Barnett
slow-paced
1.0
As someone who went through deconstruction and stayed in the church, I found their advice and information extremely biased and unhelpful. They deny that many people who are deconstructing ARE faithful Christians; they also share extreme questions/comments from deconstructionists for shock value, when really those people deserve thoughtful questions. I was extremely offended that they lumped complementarianism (wives submitting to husbands) in with basic Christian tenents, like Jesus' substitutiary death on the cross.
I know they meant well - but simply trying to redefine an already existing term isn't helpful and comes off as condescending. If you really want to know how to help people who are deconstructing, point them to podcasts like the Holy Post.
