Split Ticket takes on one of the most critical issues in the public eye right now: the complicated relationship between religious belief and political engagement. Young adults in their 20s and 30s share their religious and spiritual beliefs and political convictions at a time when partisan politics rule and faith can come across as all too independent, fundamentalist (whether on the left or right), or irrelevant. This collection of essays furnishes an insightful look at the many different perspectives on this subject, taking into account the diversity of American Christianity and America.
Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! addresses issues of love, sex(uality) and embodiment from the perspectives of young adults who work for or are involved with the church. Discussions about sex, sexuality, and theology are taboo in many churches. What about the tensions felt between the commitments of love, dating, marriage, or parenthood and living lives of faith and integrity? The essays in this book address multiple perspectives on love, dating, marriage, parenthood, sex, and sexuality, as well as looking at the history of the church s struggle with human sexuality from a fresh perspective.

The use of religion in the Twilight saga opens up some interesting possibilities. Topics from young love, to abstinence, to the value of family and friends are infused in the stories. Love as an agent of change and a motivational impulse for self-sacrifice also receives significant emphasis. “Was Bella patterned after Mary and Eve?” “Was Edward a Christ figure?”
Discussion questions aid you in taking a much closer look at Christianity’s role throughout these books.
