Twisted unto Destruction

How "Bible Alone" Theology Made the World a Worse Place

De: Donald J. Johnson

Narrado por: Donald J. Johnson

In Twisted Unto Destruction, Donald J. Johnson (Convinced, Unprotected) shows how ditching the Church in favor of private Bible interpretation has also enabled some of the modern world’s worst crimes and vices.

Once an Evangelical Protestant who took sola scriptura for granted, Johnson came to realize that setting ourselves up as little Magisteriums—whose opinions on the Bible’s meaning have to be as valid as anyone else’s—not only leads to endless splintering, but makes it possible to use Scripture to justify anything.

Like puppeteers, Christians could make the words of the Bible dance on command, inventing “biblical” endorsements of violence, greed, racism, abortion, sexual depravity, and more. Without an authoritative Church to hold the line, and long removed from a practical consensus, Protestantism has been unable to resist the tide of modern errors.

In fact, as Johnson shows, in many cases, it has endorsed and expanded those errors. Listen to Twisted Unto Destruction to learn how we can fight this abuse of the Bible and reverse the damage it has caused.

Tip of the Iceberg

I really enjoyed the book. It brought me full circle with the Church and the secular world. I enjoyed the flow and reference and how they treated the topics and people misled by thier own interpretations. my interests are fully peaked to read more and see the details of the church's writings
