The central argument of Time to Come Clean: Rescuing Jesus from Christianity is twofold. First: That by conflating Jesus and Christ, depicting him as a divine being, making him the founder of a new salvation cult, and generally promoting a supernaturalist view of reality, Christianity has come to be more an anachronistic belief system than the life of ethical practice its half-forgotten founder advocated. Second: To reverse its steady diminution of active members and social influence, those of both the pulpit and the pew need to refocus on this earthly life and seek to make the Master's message meaningful for people of the twenty-first century.

Paperback. Condition: New. Following the footsteps of the Jesus Seminar, Tom Hall seeks to revive the radical teaching of the prophet from Galilee, whose ethical testimony is still a challenge to just about everything modern society holds dear. Given the diminishing influence of traditional Christianity and the impending environmental apocalypse, there has never been a better moment to reconsider our faith and our future-and never a better time to read this book.
