If we want to understand why Christians called hypocrites and keep so many sinners from darkening a church door, then heed the tales from Pastrix and the tattooed author on the cover. Ripe from the preaching “Live hard and die with a smile on your face” Bolz-Weber openly professes the influence of the Sid and Nancy generation as she opens up about the pain caused by “Christians” and the”word of God”
Nadia talks of rock and roll, baptism from a man wearing denim, and yes, her language may carry a bite that may cause many Christians to recoil. Pastrix paints a world contrasting the stereotypical, stuffy Evangelical church. Nadia’s bold and brash narrative begins with an open testimony of her sobriety and reconciliation with Jesus Christ and states that “….everything is marinated in irony and sarcasm until ready to be grilled and handed to a naked emperor” as an early introduction to her approach in sharing her message.
Books dealing with faith, religion, God and Christianity don’t usually start with a curse word but author Nadia Bolz-Weber is unconventional in many ways in her book Pastrix.
