Dating Jesus: A Story of Fundamentalism, Feminism, and the American Girl by Susan Campbell

3.0

The book started a little slow, with a fairly conventional narrative of growing up fundamentalist. But the second half of the book was terrific. Campbell includes some interesting theological re-tellings of Jesus' interactions with women, and a very thoughtful and smart analysis of her own life and her own ideas of God. Her analogy of fundamentalism as a knife with the point broken off inside you was spot on. And her final examples of being "Christ-haunted" were immensely compelling.

A good introduction to the Christian feminism memoir genre and an interesting read.
