Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book explores the historical manifestations of Christian extremism throughout the ages, from the pseudo-orthodoxies of the early church to the Spanish Inquisition and the Episcopal Church of the author's day. The author, thoroughly immersed in Christian scripture and history, traces the origins of this phenomenon to its scriptural roots, where the nature of the apostasy is depicted as consisting of spiritual tyranny and blasphemy, the merging of ecclesiastic and political powers, and persecution. Using the New Testament as his guide, the author further identifies those Christian doctrines and practices most prone to foster this dangerous extremism and offers a compelling vision for a Christianity focused on individual conscience, free inquiry, and religious liberty. This is a must-read for Christians of every stripe, as well as for anyone interested in the interplay between religion and society.
