Blue Like Jazz
-During a family trip a couple summers ago I read a book called “Blue Like Jazz”. This book was a wonderful book that Professor Redick could teach an entire semester about. Donald Miller wrote this piece as non christians outlook on christianity. One of his most prominent chapters was when he was reflecting on a conversation he had with a non christian. Being the christian he was, that had a bit of a debate. By the end, all he could conclude was that to some God existed, and that the evidence they used to support that clearly proved to them that he did. To others, God did not exist and the evidence they brought forth, to them finalized the debate that in no way a God could exist. While this class ins’t a class on christianity, it is a class on spirituality. I think this book could be added to the class to help note the differences between spiritual experiences and religion. Being both a christian and a prospective scientist myself I often struggle with the questions presented from both sides of this argument, and from my point of view, this book greatly helps show how atheist that even if they don’t believe in a god they can believe in spiritual experiences, the backbone of this class.
