Re-Introducing Christianity
Amir Azarvan,"Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. . . . And
those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping
mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and
destruction." -- Bill Maher Many seem unaware that contemporary critiques of Christianity are
relevant mostly to its modern offshoots (whose followers have to some extent earned Bill
Maher's unflattering caricatures). To its detriment, Christianity is increasingly identified
in people's minds with these more recent expressions. As a result, a growing number of people
are turning away from Christianity and, indeed, religious faith altogether. Drawing from an
eclectic group of theologians, clergy members, monastics, and lay scholars, this edited volume
re-introduces Christianity to a modern audience. It presents a more authentic, experiential
side of Christianity to the religious skeptic; a side that eschews blind faith, legalism, and
judgment; a side that is rarely given a hearing in the ongoing debate with today's skeptics.
Re-Introducing Christianity is also directed at modern Christians, and refutes their most
frequently expressed criticisms of what the contributors boldly, but humbly, call the
Apostolic Faith.
