"""Despite his probable protestations, Tom Hall in Time to Come Clean proves to be a genuinely 'down-to-earth' theologian. He catches not only the feel of the warp and woof of the mangled and tattered tapestries of theological and biblical history, but also the earthy tones of that early Jewish standup comic. Tom writes de profundis, out of the depths of a life committed to a relentless honesty, from rubbing elbows with scholars who dared to think things over again. He aptly rescues 'religion' from a prosaic fate by demonstrating that its heart is tied to poetry. And, in these uncertain and apparently apocalyptic times, he provides a contrary and compassionate roadmap for this planet by challenging each of us to find the unknown depths of being human to one another."" -Arthur Dewey, Xavier University, author of Inventing the Passion ""Following in the footsteps of the Jesus Seminar, Hall seeks to revive the radical teaching of the prophet from Galilee, whose ethical testimony is still a challenge to just about everything modern society holds dear. Given the diminishing influence of traditional Christianity and the impending environmental apocalypse, there has never been a better moment to reconsider our faith and our future - and never a better time to read this book."" -Dominic Kirkham, author of From to Modernity"
