Low Anthropology: The Unlikely Key to a Gracious View of Others (and Yourself) Hardcover - 2022
by David Zahl
From the rear cover
"Perceptive, funny, subversive, and nourishing"
Many of us spend our days feeling like we're the only one with problems, while everyone else has their act together. But the sooner we realize that everyone struggles like we do, the sooner we can show grace to ourselves and others.
In Low Anthropology, author and theologian David Zahl explores how our ideas about human nature influence our expectations in friendship, work, marriage, and politics. He offers a liberating view of human nature, sin, and grace, showing why the good news of Christianity is both urgent and appealing.
By embracing a more accurate view of human beings, we can discover a true and lasting hope.
"A remarkably perceptive, funny, subversive, and nourishing book that hasn't left my mind since I read it. David Zahl shows that transformation--and the kind of hope we can actually rely on--isn't to be found in the oppressive perfectionism of self-improvement but rather in accepting the liberating truth that we're all flawed, finite, prone to overconfidence and messing things up, and in need of forgiveness."
--Oliver Burkeman, New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals
"This is the book I have been waiting for: an antidote to all the self-help nonsense that weighs down our bookshelves and our self-regard. I feel lighter, freer, and less alone with every word I read in Zahl's brilliant and truthful Low Anthropology."
--Nadia Bolz-Weber, author of Accidental Saints: Finding God in All the Wrong People
"I know of few people better equipped to cut through the religious noise of our day than David Zahl, and this book is no exception. While we're constantly being told to think better and expect more of ourselves, Zahl provides a counterintuitive take. He shows us that there's goodness in being merely human, and there's great humor to be found in it too."
--Mike Cosper, author and director of podcasts at Christianity Today
