Christianity Without God

Moving Beyond the Dogmas and Retrieving the Epic Moral Narrative

By: Daniel C. Maguire

Narrated by: Tom Kruse

Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's summary

This audiobook argues that Christianity does not require its supernatural aspects.

Christianity without an omnipotent god, without a divine savior, without an afterlife? In this bold and hopeful book, theologian Daniel C. Maguire writes that traditional, supernatural aspects of Christianity can be comforting but are increasingly questionable. A century of scholarly research has not been supportive of the dogmatic triad of personal god, incarnate savior, and life after death. Demonstrating that these beliefs have questionable roots in historical traditions, Maguire argues for a return to that brilliant and revolutionary moral epic of the Hebrew and Christian Bible. Rescued from God, Christianity can offer a realistic global ethic to heal a planet sinking under the effects of our ungrateful mismanagement.

crap

This book was fine until it left the core message behind and went full political. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known.
