Finished reading: Low Anthropology by David Zahl 📚

A book that hooks you from the start: Zahl is a witty writer, his prose conversational. As it unfolds, Zahl unpacks his understanding of “low anthropology” and you begin to see his penetrating reflections on how fickle and unimpressive we humans can be. By the end, Low Anthropology opens up into a deeply moving reflection on God’s grace, showing (counterintuitively) how a low anthropology is actually the best—really the only—vantage point for catching a glimpse of such mercy in action. I can’t imagine a single person in our culture who wouldn’t benefit from something in these pages.
