“We may be entering a phase in church history where the most attractive thing about Christianity is an up-and-running anthropology that values bodies, physical activities, in-person communities of occasionally awkward fellowship, and deep, messy relationships.”

‘Sinners’ frequently grapples with Christian religion, church, spirituality, and moral ideas about evil, sin, and temptation. But how does the film view these? What is its posture toward Christianity? My latest for @TGC: https://t.co/b8WxGhflK9
