Resumen del Editor

While Christian faith cannot be reduced to mere superstition, few would deny that Christianity is too easily plagued by superstition. Indeed, many Christian theologians have tried to purify Christianity of magical thinking in favor of genuine piety.

In Jesus Christ Superstition, Robert M. Price examines this confusing intersection of Christianity and superstition. Is "practicing the presence of God" actually a variety of paranoia? Is having a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ" really akin to a child playing with an imaginary friend? At what point does a religious belief or practice become an obsessive neurosis? These are searching questions from someone who himself spent many years as an evangelical Christian.

Price finds that the source of superstition in Christianity is the objectification of the transcendent. As a result, he argues, many of the most destructive superstitions within Christianity are unfortunate accretions to the faith and by no means essential to it. In that regard, many of the beliefs and practices that interfere with a life-transforming piety could in principle be purged from Christianity to the glad benefit of its adherents. Christians who believe that an unexamined faith is not worth having will profit from struggling with Jesus Christ Superstition.

Supernatural = Superstition

Bob Price does an excellent job illustrating the aspects of Christianity based in superstition: prayer, the nature of god, having a “personal relationship”, and others. A must-read for atheists and Christians alike.

Dr Price is an International Treasure

True depth of knowledge in the field and a grand sense of humor. The narrator has a great tone and tempo of flow for at times complex subject matter.

Jesus Christ Superstition

Well written, and not what I was expecting. This was not about the historicity of the gospel stories, but about the psychology of belief and what it means to have a personal relationship with a deity in the Christian context.

Articulates the superstitious aspect of Christianity in everyday language so anyone can relate to it.

If you're honest, and religious, you should stand up and pay attention to this book.
