This work illustrates the author's belief that the Church requires its members to remain lifelong children and to believe without questioning the mythic tales about Jesus are literal historical facts. This book challenges the basic assumptions of conventional Christianity and opens up a new vision of Christian faith, grounded in critical thinking, historical realism, and allegiance to Jesus's message of freedom and hope.

About this title

Synopsis

A religious scholar argues that the Immaculate Conception, Hell, and other elements of Christianity are mere childish, sexist conventions hindering a true encounter with the Gospel
