Opis

There was a time when Christianity changed the world. This is a book about how the world has changed and continues to remake Christianity into its image. Some see this as exactly as it should be: religion should adapt and evolve to remain relevant in the present world. Others, however, are frustrated and struggle with how this could have happened. They wonder if there is any way of undoing what they see as the damage done to Christ's church. This is a book that questions some of the established assumptions of current Christian thought. It explores the unique way God teaches throughout the Bible. It views the very demanding commitment taught by Jesus and his disciples in the first century A.D. and assumes that is applicable today. Using a psychological approach, it demonstrates how generations of Christians have been wounded by their religious up-bringing and culture, causing them to move further away from God's vision of goodness.
