A Call to Update Culture of Faith in Light of New Realities

"Eating the Elephant" appeals to our higher calling as rational beings to reconcile realities of existence. Troubled by inconsistencies in application of knowledge, author John Mangano sits down with us to chat about `life as we know it.' What becomes evident in reminiscing snapshots that no longer make sense is the keenness to change one's thinking to the betterment of the individual and society. Issues in religion and science that beg for responsible sense-making without censure come together in a series of vignettes compiled from the laboratory of life. Entertaining and heady, this is an honest work by a learn-ed man who still cares... the perfect exercise to stimulate apologetics thinkers and skeptics alike. "Eating the Elephant" provides the questions...you become the solution. My recommendation: 'Don't bite off more than you can chew.'
