Philip Gulley, acclaimed
author, pastor, writer and
speaker will present a brief
lecture titled, “Unlearning
God.” Mountain Top Lec
tures in collaboration with
University of North Georgia
are delighted to bring Philip
Gulley’s wit, wisdom, and in
sight to the UNG Dahlonega
Campus, Hoag Auditorium
on Friday, April 7th and Sat
urday, April 8th.
Mountain Top Lectures
briefly describes the premise
of this lecture with this:
"The earliest things we
learn about God are often the
most deeply rooted. As we
mature, we discover those
first beliefs are unhelpful and
must be unlearned. This is
both frightening and exhila
rating, providing us the op
portunity to consider God,
ourselves, and others in a
new light."
Philip Gulley is a Quaker
pastor, writer, and speaker
from Danville, Indiana. Gul
ley has written 21 books, in
cluding the Harmony series
recounting life in the eccen
tric Quaker community of
Harmony, Indiana and the
best-selling Porch Talk essay
series.
Philip Gulley
An eclectic writer, Gulley
has now published 20 books,
including the acclaimed Har
mony series chronicling life
in the eccentric Quaker com
munity of Harmony, Indiana.
Gulley has also written
several books of theology. He
and co-author James Mulhol-
land describe their progres
sive worldview in their
books, If Grace Is True and If
God Is Love. Gulley then
went on to write If the
Church Were Christian in
which he presents a profound
picture of what the church
could look like if it refocused
on the priorities of Jesus. In
his book, The Evolution of
Faith he proposes a fresh di
rection for Christianity and
articulates a Christianity that
while faithful to the priorities
of Jesus can help its adher
ents live happily, peacefully
and productively in our com
plex world. The Nobel laure
ate Desmond Tutu said of
that book, “In our ever
changing world, Gulley’s
book is much needed. An im
portant book for any person
of faith.”
Gulley is currently work
ing on what will be his 21st
book entitled The Awakened
Soul. Many years ago, the
great psychologist Abraham
Maslow described the traits
of happy, healthy people.
Maslow recognized the im
portance of spirituality in
helping people become "self-
actualized." In this upcoming
book, Gulley will reflect
upon those characteristics
and their contribution to our
well-being. Healthy churches
commit themselves to spiri
tual well-being. Maslow's
observations, properly inter
preted and updated, offer a
positive way forward for
thoughtful seekers across the
theological spectrum.
