Meeting at the River: A Tale of Naked Truth - Paperback
by David L. Hatton (Author)
In this semi-autobiographical, fictional tale and intellectual treatise, my divided view of the body is challenged by an encounter with the past. As a bivocational pastor and nurse, I'm shocked when some from a religious crowd in ancient dress disrobe at my favorite swimming hole to be baptized totally naked!Antiquity offers a fatal blow to the old wall in my mind that keeps my experiences of hospital nudity from confronting the taboos of my upbringing. When that wall topples, I gains a new perspective on life in Bible times, a deeper theological appreciation of human embodiment, and a pricked conscience about the root cause of our culture's obsession with pornography. Join me in unlearning deceptions as old as Eden, in relearning truths as relevant as our children's future, and in facing the test of my transformed thinking by the further challenge of four skinny-dipping Bible college students.
