Peter Rollins is a widely sought after writer, lecturer,
storyteller and public speaker. He is also the founder of ikon, a
faith group that has gained an international reputation for
blending live music, visual imagery, soundscapes, theatre, ritual
and reflection to create what they call ‘transformance art’.
Peter gained his higher education from Queens University, Belfast
and has earned degrees (with distinction) in Scholastic Philosophy
(BA Hons), Political Theory (MA) and Post-Structural thought (PhD).
He is currently a research associate with the Irish School of
Ecumenics in Trinity College, Dublin and is the author of the much
talked about How (Not) to Speak of God. His most recent work is
entitled The Orthodox Heretic and Other Impossible Tales. He was
born in Belfast but currently resides in Greenwich, CT.
This book brings together Christian mysticism, postmodern
philosophy, and the practices and liturgies of an alternative
worship community trying to make sense of Christianity in a
postmodern environment. The results are stunning - original,
provocative, and creative.

Here in pregnant bud is the rose, the emerging new configuration,
of a Christianity that is neither Roman nor Protestant, neither
Eastern nor monastic; but rather is the re-formation of all of
them. Here, in pregnant bud, is third millennium Christendom.

I am a raving fan of the book you are holding. I loved reading it.
I have already begun widely recommending it. Reading it did good
for my mind and my soul. It helped me to understand my own
spiritual journey more clearly, and it gave me a sense of context
for the work I’m involved in. In fact, I would say this is one of
the two or three most rewarding books of theology I have read in
ten years.
