[edit] 'DADDY DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?'
According to the author, a publisher of some experience, John Hunt, the people are right and the Church is wrong. Doubt is the key to good religious practice, not certainty. In this book, John Hunt provides a personal perspective on how Christianity reached its present point of evolution.
In this thorough and highly readable book the author argues that the people are right, the Church wrong. Doubt is the key to good religious practice, not certainty. The experience and understanding of God is not confined to orthodox Christians, or to any one religion, maybe not even to our own species. With thousands of Christian denominations, tens of thousands of different world views on record, a religious experience stretching back hundreds of thousands of years, a universe billions of trillions of miles in extent, a tradition that claims exclusive truth is not only likely to be wrong but, in the long run, counter productive. He provides a personal perspective on how Christianity got to this point in its evolution. Is it 'good'? Does it 'work'? Is is 'true'? Why the compulsion to believe in the first place? In particular he investigates the 300 year gap between the life of Jesus and the time when the tenets of the Christian religion as it is generally understood today were firmly established; the Creeds, the Papacy, the Church, and the Bible itself. He argues that the Church needs to embrace a broader vision of God, more in tune with what Jesus said (and more open to the insights of other religions) in order to recover the interest of the majority of people. Drawing on detailed analysis from subjects such as history, science and philosophy, the book presents a compelling argument for Christianity to move forward into the 21st century.
