A Theology of Play

Learning to Enjoy Life as God Intended

Kevin M. Gushiken,

About this book

God encourages you to experience great joy in following JesusGod has given humans freedom and permission to play--to fully enjoy life's moments as he intended, with no ulterior motive. The Christian life without play becomes malformed, and believers can miss aspects of the abundant life Jesus came to give.In A Theology of Play, Kevin Gushiken builds a case for getting serious about play as a vital element of being a Christian. "Play, " he writes, "is not merely an activity but a way of living." Gushiken explores play from various biblical and theological lenses: How an identity grounded in God's good creation invites us to playThe connection between play and the biblical concept of SabbathWhy past hurts don't have to keep us from enjoying the presentReleasing false guilt and shame to find true freedom to PlayHow to play in the midst of difficulty and painUltimately, knowing and enjoying God brings freedom and pleasure. A Theology of Play helps Christian believers identify barriers to play in their day-to-day lives and offers faithful guidance in recapturing play within the rhythms of life.
