MUDHOUSE SABBATH

An emergent writer and speaker, Winner brings many elements from her Jewish upbringing into the light of Christianity, examining each and suggesting ways to integrate elements of both faiths. The theology is light, as Winner is not nearly as scandalous as mavericks such as Brian McLaren and Rob Bell, with the result being more anecdotal than an imperative to put into practice. Kate Reading gives an expert and inviting performance, tackling Hebrew words and effortlessly presenting them to the listener. When an English-speaking narrator makes you feel the foreign words she is reading, the performance bears the imprimatur of someone dedicated to her craft.
