I want to like this book, but so far the construction of the arguments is a little shoddy, it acts as if we can know what the historical Jesus wanted by using the non historical Jesus's stories. Just kind of rambles on in the first part without stating the point of where it is going and thereby diluting the point when they get there.

I hope it gets better.

The book is good. I am not good at taking in the info, cause I always think that I "knew" even the basic concepts of the book. The book struggles at times to fully integrate social movements into the cognitive science it produces, especially in the middle of the book. But the classroom and trauma-informed care discussion near the end was great. Underlines the need for community, connection, safety, & daily rhythm
