review 1: I love this book. The title is brilliant as an image that captures the oxbow-like path of Miller's theological thinking. I love the way his mind works. Someone has called these essays "meditations" and I agree with that description. They're beautiful. Though some are more accessible than others, nearly every one has insights that have already permanently changed the way I live and think about how I live.
review 2: While I could not agree with everything that Adam wrote in this collection of 14 essays, every one of them really made me think hard about my faith, the scriptures, and what they really mean to me. The essay "A Hermeneutics of Weakness" absolutely blew me away, and this book would have been worth it even for that single chapter. Adam's thoughts on
... more grace in a few of the chapters were also wonderful, and thought provoking. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to think deeply about their own faith and the atonement of Christ. less

Great, fun, playful, quirky and deadly serious treatment of topics in Mormon theology.
