There’s nothing like a good dust-up between friends — especially when they’re Christians. A theological battle is springing up among Canada’s “progressive Christians” after the splashy publication of the best-selling new book by Toronto United Church Rev. Gretta Vosper.Published with media fanfare by HarperCollins, Vosper’s book aims, as she says, to provoke “a confrontation.” Her wish to disturb is captured by her title: With or Without God: Why the Way We Live is More Important Than What We Believe.
