Listen to The TruHealth Radio Show“You’ll find real enlightenment in UNenlightenment!”— Brian D. McLaren
UNenlightenment is Here!
It’s Time to REthink Everything.
The Idea
What is UNenlightenment?
UNenlightenment is the process of unlearning our harmful beliefs (deconstruction), then re-understanding Scripture and faith (reconstruction), and finally, using that information to live the Gospel anew in the world.

The Book
Rethink Everything You Were Taught
Do you desire more from your faith than what you learned in Sunday school? Do you find yourself asking questions about Christianity and feeling unsatisfied with the answers?
UNenlightenment is a theological and philosophical guide to help you deconstruct your faith journey and lead you through building a belief system that is completely yours. It pulls no punches, and asks the hard questions about the beliefs the Church has held for years.
Are you ready to take control of your spiritual journey, understand and deal with doubt, and help transform your faith into something you want to share with others?

Finding Enlightenment
What happens when you “say the sinner’s prayer” and become an Evangelical in your teens, then go to an Evangelical college and seminary, but are never fully satisfied with the Evangelical framework you inherited? UNenlightenment reflects Eric English’s experience of rethinking evangelical theology. If you’re a thoughtful person questioning elements of your belief system, you’ll find real enlightenment in UNenlightenment.
Brian McLarenDeep & Insightful
When someone like Eric English takes our mandate to seek God with all our heart, soul and mind as seriously as this, what you end up with is a book as deep and insightful as UNenlightenment. Prepare to be challenged, provoked and inspired by this exceptional work.
Keith GilesA Lot Of Meat To Chew On
With everyone talking about deconstruction these days, one might be hesitant to read yet another book on the topic. But Eric Scot English’s UNenlightenment isn’t just another book. Rather than falling into one of two camps – as either an apologist for the status quo or one who wants to burn the whole faith to the ground – English finds a third way. He understands where Christianity has been, where it has gone wrong, and how it can move forward. And while you may not necessarily affirm every idea put forth in the book – that’s not the intention of Progressive Christianity anyway – English gives his readers a lot of meat to chew on.
Matthew DistefanoSolid Research
UNenlightenment contained some very solid research. I could see how passionate the author was about helping others. I enjoyed the history lesson on the different versions of the Bible and how the one we use now was decided on. The book was written in a simple manner, so it could be understood by anyone who chose to read it. The author answered questions I did not even know I had about Christianity.

Listen to What If Project PodcastFollowing Jesus does not mean that we become slaves to rules and regulations that lead to an ordinary life. Just the opposite. Following Jesus means that we become free to reinvent ourselves through the revelation of our true identities as beloved children of God. Through Jesus, we encounter what it really means to be human.
