Fed Up with Fundamentalism pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Forthrightly, but without rancor, in this book the author elucidates the major weaknesses of and problems with Christian fundamentalism. Rather than condemning or rejecting fundamentalism, though, the book forwards a theological understanding of the Christian faith that is truer to the message of Jesus-and one that will be more appealing to readers who are "fed up" with the faults of fundamentalism. Since many people are considering leaving-or have already left-Christianity because of fundamentalism, this book seeks to help such people find and embrace a different, more genuine expression of the faith. The book encourages non-Christians who feel negative toward the Christian religion because of fundamentalism to take another look at Christianity to see that there is a form of that faith which does not include all the odious aspects of fundamentalism. Those who read this well-researched and insightful book, partly based on the author's experiences, will not only gain a fuller understanding of fundamentalism but will also see that it is possible to be a faithful follower of Christ without being a fundamentalist.
