Revelation: The Education of a Priest

Over the forty-plus years of his adult vocation as an Episcopal priest, Dale Coleman has wanted to write about his journey from the Salvation Army to the Episcopal Church. He wished to be in a Christian church with “elbow room” that would allow questions, true spiritual growth, and “faith seeking understanding.”

Dale is fearless in looking at the Episcopal Church, and especially his seminary days at a “smells and bells” traditional Anglican Seminary. He writes boldly and freely about the boy he was and the man he has become, placing his first allegiance in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christians need to be honest and clear about their faith in the growing toxicity of our culture. His first questions from his youth were “Where did the Bible come from, and how is it to be read and interpreted?” These and many other questions about the Christian church, its faith and life are addressed in this book.
