A Good Theology Book

I’ve had people—especially ministers—say, “This is supposed to be a theology book? What theology?” O ye of little perception! Just from the first couple of pages, you should be able to detect: 1) Ongoing optimism 2) Everyone they meet gets treated equally 3) The two characters are quick to give each other the benefit of the doubt 4) They travel with spartan frugality 5) The plan for the cross-country hitchhiking trip was mapped out over the celebration of the birth of our savior (Christmas 1970), and (for now) 6) We spent 40-days and 40-nights on the road which is a direct reference to Jesus fasting in the desert for the same amount of time as per Matthew and Luke. Just sayin.’
