Book of the Month: Better Ways to Read the Bible!
August 2025: We're giving away two signed copies!
Public Theology is based on the work of Zach W. Lambert, Pastor of Restore, an inclusive church in Austin, Texas. He and his wife, Amy Lambert, contribute to and moderate this account.
All of the content available at Public Theology is for those who identify as Christian, as well as those who might be interested in learning about a more inclusive, kind, thoughtful Christianity. To receive new posts and support the work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Zach’s first book, Better Ways to Read the Bible, will release on August 12, 2025, and is available to preorder today.
Every preorder qualifies for an instant download art print as well as a free copy of the audiobook upon release. Please complete this form to receive your preorder bonuses!
Lastly, we are happy to cover subscription costs for anyone who needs it but can’t afford it at this time. If you would like to join the Public Theology community and gain access to our paid subscriber content (which we keep behind a paywall for the privacy and connection of our community) but cannot afford to do so, please message Amy Lambert directly.
We’re glad you’re here.
We are bringing back the Book of the Month feature, and what better book to start with?! We know you’ve heard all about it by now so we’ll keep this short.
We are just four days away from the official launch of Better Ways to Read the Bible! This community has been a huge encouragement to us throughout the book release process and we want to thank you by giving signed copies to two of our paid subscribers. Just like, restack, and comment on this post by Sunday, August 10, at 5pm CST to be entered into the drawing. We’ll announce winners within the comments and send DMs for addresses.
