Anne’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Separation of Church and Hate

Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang

7 highlights

First, I am not a clergy member, nor a professional academic or theologian. This means I will not be using the word “exegesis” at all in this book, beyond this sentence.

“Alice wondered if no one ever felt as old as they were because it happened so slowly, and you were only ever one day slower and creakier, and the world changed so gradually that by the time cars had evolved from boxy to smooth, or green taxis had joined yellow ones, or MetroCards had replaced tokens, you were used to it. Everyone was a lobster in the pot.”
― Emma Straub, This Time Tomorrow
