The Myth of a Christian Religion

How Believers Must Rebel to Advance the Kingdom of God

De: Gregory A. Boyd

Narrado por: Art Carlson

The kingdom of God is a beautiful revolution. Marked by the radical life, love, servanthood, and humility of Jesus, it stands in stark contrast to the values and ways of the world.Regrettably, many who profess to follow Christ have bought into the world’s methods, seeking to impose a sort of Christianized ethical kingdom through politics and control. In this illuminating sequel to his bestselling book The Myth of a Christian Nation, Dr. Gregory Boyd points us to a better way—a way of seeing and living that is consistent with the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom. Between the extremes of passivity on the one hand and political holy war on the other lies the radical, revolutionary path of imitating Jesus.In twelve areas ranging from racial and social issues to stewardship of the planet, this book will convince and inspire you to live a Christlike life of revolt and beauty—and it will help you attain a practical lifestyle of kingdom impact.

Brilliant! Perspective Shifting!

I absolutely loved this book as I hold with my own stongly-held Christian faith, but struggle with historical and cultural grievances.

FOR TRUE GOD LOVING & FAIRING CHRISTIANS to Read

This is a must read for true Christian Living - for most of us are religions have messed with our heads... but to follow Jesus Christ is the most important thing and live the way he teaches.

Missionary needed this

Serving in another country and listened to this this last week. Really needed this to help me grow in my faith and knowledge of Christ and the real revolution he brought and invites us to be a part of!

Greg Boyd hits it on the head

nNot unlike his book, Myth of a Christian Nation, in mMyth of a Christian Religion, Greg Boyd hits the topics hard that need to be hit, especially in our affluent Western culture and United States of America urface-skimming religions. Greg Boyd go goes straight to the source by using scripture and biblical details that are historically accurate and relevant to paint a picture of the true religion of the heart that Christ established.. versus how far down we have slid in 21st century America. Each chapter is timely, to the point and well-done and includes an action guide for small group study that opens up some very useful, relevant, and much-needed conversation among those claiming to be followers of the true gospel of Christ. Although at times it seems that Greg Boyd is a little sketchy on a return of Christ for some fantasy earthly reign and what exactly that looks like...topics that Christ himself speaks about in both Matthew and Luke, the rest of the text seems scripturally sound and backed up buy verses and themes that are common and relevant in the New Testament. I recommend this book for anyone who is trying to break out of the mold of dumbed-down Western Christian thought, and the illness that is killing the once Vivid and alive gospel of Christ in our country.

A great sequel

I’ve just listened a second time to this book and Greg’s previous “ The Myth of a Christian Nation. “. I’ve been concerned about the increasing irrelevance of the church in our country. The truth is we have reduced the gospel to an escape plan that’s contingent on professing the correct beliefs. Subsequently the gospel has effectively become irrelevant to us in our daily lives. What is the gospel? It is the kingdom of God to be lived here and now moment by moment. Read these books and then read them again and allow the Spirit of God to speak words of life.
