#90 - Stealing Jesus

Stealing Jesus : How Fundamentalism Betrays Christianity by Bruce Bawer

After reading the library's copy, I promptly went out and bought my own. Because I found myself wanting to go back through, marking it up and making comments in the margins. I found this fascinating & eye-opening, though sometimes I felt that the author drew false distinctions between the "church of law" and the "church of love". My experience with fairly fundamentalist churches showed much more concern for love than he acknowledges. Despite its faults, it was still a powerful book.
