Liberating the Gospel from Christian Myth: God Concepts and the Father of Jesus in Holy Scripture (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798385241132)

Liberating the Gospel from the Christian Myth tackles Christianity's oldest problem: What does the loving God of the New Testament have to do with judgment, retribution, and violence? How did a message of enemy love become propaganda for enemy hate? Bringing biblical, church historical, theological, and pastoral emphases together creates a truly new frame for dealing with the most vexing questions facing Christians today. Liberating the Gospel from Christian Myth opens up a way to hear God's voice in Scripture and also recognize those places where the god of myth is present. Only as we learn to ask the better questions will we end up with the best answers and recapture our love of the Bible again.
