God Is Not Three Guys in the Sky: Cherishing Christianity Without Its Exclusive Claims - Tapa blanda

This inclusive interpretation of Christian doctrine asserts that Christianity mistakes its myth for history and its symbol for fact. In the present atmosphere of religious polarity, even violence, Clancy urges Christians to abandon their claim to being the one and only true religion. With evidence from scholars and a variety of traditions, she examines questions about: the Christ, truth and myth in scripture, God and human consciousness, the mystical Reign proclaimed by the man Jesus. Her answers to these questions will delight many, disturb others, and fascinate all readers. Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Native Americans, Jews, atheists, and pagans are included with Christians in this synthesis of spiritual currents. Here is a vision of global harmony.

What experiences are you thankful for? The question is deceptively simple. But when Linda Knebel Pruden asked it, she found herself on a spiritual quest spanning a hundred years of American history. Reaching beyond memoir, Linda looks to her parents’ and grandparents’ lives to uncover the roots of the problems that surface again and again in her own life. She finds tangled knots of stubbornness, mental illness, and determined self-sufficiency, but also great faith and unspoken depths of love. Triggering memories with the recipes of her immigrant heritage, she learns to appreciate both the triumphs and the losses that shaped her life, even decades before her birth. Join her in listening for the truths that call to us again and again in our lives, and in celebrating everything we have to learn from and teach each other.
