Fiction Books by Brad Jagger
Books that challenge inherited beliefs, explore honest questions, and invite readers into a more thoughtful and courageous path of faith.
The Divine as Love
What if God is not a supernatural ruler above us, but the love that comes alive between us? The Divine as Love challenges inherited images of God built on power, punishment, and control, and offers a radically human vision of the sacred. This is a book about letting false gods die so that compassion, justice, and love can finally take their place.
Progressive Literalism
You do not have to choose between blind biblical literalism and abandoning scripture altogether. Progressive Literalism offers a new way to read the Bible honestly, taking its historical setting, human authors, contradictions, and evolving theology seriously. It invites readers through the gate of unquestioned belief and onto a more thoughtful, courageous path of faith.
LGBTQ+ Christianity
For generations, LGBTQ+ people have been told that the Bible condemns their identities and relationships. LGBTQ+ Christianity examines the biblical passages most often used against them and reveals the history, assumptions, and mistranslations behind traditional interpretations. This is an accessible guide for LGBTQ+ Christians, families, churches, and anyone seeking a faith rooted in truth, inclusion, and love.
Awakening the Truth Instinct
Why do human beings keep reaching for truth, meaning, beauty, and connection? Awakening the Truth Instinct explores the deep inner impulse that pushes us beyond inherited answers and toward a more honest understanding of ourselves, one another, and the mystery of existence. It is an invitation to trust the questions that refuse to leave us alone.

When Faith Breaks
What happens when the faith that once held your life together begins to crack? When Faith Breaks speaks to people who can no longer ignore their questions, doubts, or wounds from religion. Rather than trying to repair the old structure, it offers permission to examine what has broken and begin building a more honest life beyond fear.
The Women of Cross Bones
Beneath the streets of London lies the forgotten story of women rejected by respectable society and buried outside consecrated ground. The Women of Cross Bones brings their world to life through a haunting story of survival, sisterhood, exploitation, and defiance. It is a tribute to the women history tried to erase and the dignity they refused to surrender.
