Opis

What would it say about Christianity if scattered within, like salt, were found verses justifying violence against another culture? Islam started in 600 declaring that non-Islamic foreigners must pay a tax, while other Koranic verses explain that foreigners must convert or be killed until Islam rules the world, using Christianity or Judaism as its foundation. Judaism justified putting Canaan to the sword, claiming land on which Israel never actually resided having merely visited four-hundred years earlier, claiming that only priests might enter the temple which was due its tax. In thirty pages this book arrives at an alternative version of Christianity's meaning and purpose in the context of Roman or Catholic imperialism which destroyed the temple, enslaved its people, banished its heirs and vindictively planted the seeds (sewed the salt) of the destruction of Jewish temple worship theology.
