According to the author, a publisher of some experience, John Hunt, the people are right and the Church is wrong. Doubt is the key to good religious practice, not certainty. In this book, John Hunt provides a personal perspective on how Christianity reached its present point of evolution. Is it "good"? Does it "work"? Why the compulsion to believe in the first place? He investigates the 300 year gap between the life of Jesus and the time of the tenets of Christian religion as it is generally understood were firmly established - the Creeds; the Papacy; the Church; and the Bible itself. Hunt argues that the Church needs to embrace a broader vision of God, more in tune with the words of Jesus, in order to recover the interset of the majority of people. The book draws on detailed analysis from subjects such as history, science and philosophy, to present an argument for Christianity to move forward into the 21st century.
