Check out the back cover as well:

A Tale of Three Beers
An Irishman moves into a tiny hamlet in County Kerry, walks into the pub and promptly orders three beers. The bartender raises his eyebrows, but serves the man three beers, which he drinks quietly at a table, alone. An hour later, the man has finished the three beers and orders three more....
Think You’ve Got it? Think Again
On the Problem With Agreement and Disagreement. A guest post by Peter Rollins. One of the things that I often see in discussions concerning some thinker is the use of the phrases “agree” and “disagree.” For instance, in relation to my own work I often see phrases like, “I agree with much of what says,” “I don’t agree with everything” or “I disagree with…” These terms can initially seem like evidence of critical thinking (i.e. someone is willing to critically affirm or question what they are reading), yet these terms are actually more symptomatic of uncritical thought. The reason lies in the way...
Pub Theology Recap March 3
The Northern Hawk Owl amber ale in the cask set the tone for a nice, low-key evening of discussion, with some potentially hot topics. Great to have the wisdom of a philosopher again in our midst (C), not to mention the always insightful Presbyterian contingent (D and N), the resident a-theists (S & R), some new voices of wisdom (S, K and M!), and some of us who just like beer (J & A, and B).
Pub Theology Book Endorsements
More endorsements on my upcoming book, Pub Theology, in addition to those on the back cover. “Some of the best theological conversations happen over a beer at the pub. Bryan Berghoef captures something of the relaxed and relational dynamic that makes these discussions so pleasurable, while at the same time wrestling with serious theological questions. So pull up a chair, order your favorite drink...

Nice. Looks to me to be a Light beer. Not much of that ingested at Pub Theology. Nice to see Phyllis Tickle and John Suk on the back cover. Well done, Bryan.
Ha – maybe think IPA. It sorta resembles the Spiney Norman IPA.
Very cool! Great endorsements!
As for the beer, consider it a marketing decision. Those light lagers vastly outsell porters. 😉
First of all, the book looks really professional. The cover alone would entice me to read it even if it were titled “An Idiots Guide to interpreting American hand signals.”
Second, when can I come up for a signing?
Third, I think this could be a welcome addition to the required reading list for my Seniors. What do you think?
Mike-
Yeah – they did a nice job. I didn’t get any input on the cover, but I knew they do a nice job on this stuff at Wipf & Stock, so I wasn’t too worried.
Be great to put it on the required reading list. I’ll be sure to come up with new editions so that every class has to buy ‘the latest’. 😉
Very exciting!!
Looks awesome, Bryan. Love the simple cover and comments on back, except that final comment about the author leaving for D.C….
Congratulations. Looks good. I look forward to reading it.
Sure the front cover is appetizing but the back cover does create an interest in a subject I would usually avoid as a recreational read. The cover combo really works, nice job Bryan.

Very interested in your book. I’m doing some in-depth research into our pub discussion scene here in Portland where there is even a church meeting in a pub. This is hard work but someone has to do it.

Glad you found my book – hope it’s a helpful piece to your research!

Just bought mine on Kindle. I can hardly wait to read it. Your help in getting us started with our Theology Pub in Alamosa CO was very much appreciated. It’s going great. We have a good mix of Christians, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Universalists and undecided’s coming.
Kudos in your new endeavors in D.C.
Allen-
So glad to hear your group is going well! Very, very cool. Hope the book is enjoyable for you. We’re actually headed out West in August and might be looking to join a few pub groups to share about the book as well as see what other folks have going on. Let me know if that might be of interest with your group.
