Gulley, but I think you have lost some of your sense of direction when it comes to the Christian faith. The way I understand it, there are certain tenets that give the faith its uniqueness. These would include the sovereignty of God; the virgin birth; the existence of Heaven and Hell; and, the sacrifice of Christ on the cross to save us from Hell. Gulley flatly states in his latest book that he believes in none of these except God, and that's only god in the lower case. A lot of Christians will have a hard time getting past his assertions. That said, he does make some valid points in that the church could do a much better job concentrating on grace with a capital "G" rather than knit-picking about various sins. The church does seem to be rapidly losing its relevance, and this could certainly be a factor in it. Tossing God and all of our beliefs about him out the window does not seem the best solution to me, however. So, read the book but beware of its controversial nature. In the future, it might be labeled "Gulleyism". ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"[Philip Gulley's] vision of Christianity is grounded, gripping, and filled with uncommon sense. He is building bridges instead of boundaries, and such wisdom is surely needed now." --Richard Rohr, O.F.M, author of Everything Belongs Quaker minister Philip Gulley, author of If Grace Is True and If God Is Love, returns with If the Church Were Christian: a challenging and thought-provoking examination of the author's vision for today's church... if Christians truly followed the core values of Jesus Christ. Fans of Shane Claiborne, Rob Bell, and unChristian will find much to discuss in If the Church Were Christian, as will anyone interested in the future of this institution.
