Autorenporträt

Alden Swan spends a lot of his time thinking and drinking coffee, not necessarily in that order. Growing up on a small farm in northern Minnesota, he had the luxury of having plenty of time to wonder about God and church and life. That sense of wonder has remained with him.Raised Lutheran, he has spent much of his adult life in evangelical churches while never abandoning his more historic theological roots. He has devoted considerable time to Christian ministry, serving on church boards, teaching Bible studies, playing in worship bands, and always believing that God was bigger than the theological boxes that people constructed to house God. In the 1990s he started the Small Voices Journal, an early alternative online Christian magazine, exploring ideas about church and life. For many years he has blogged at aldenswan.com where he continues to express his thinking on a number of subjects. He co-authored The Gospel Uncensored with Ken Blue.Alden currently resides in Oregon with Jo, his wife of forty-one years. His favorite thing is to spend time with their three children and two grandchildren. He is very happily retired, which once again gives him ample time to think and write and drink too much coffee. On occasion he plays the banjo but will stop if you ask nicely.
