The roots of an insidious Religious Humanism have for some time now steadily been growing deeper and deeper and taking a firm hold in the modern Christian Church in America and across the world. The lethality of this rooting is that Religious Humanism is filled with false teachings which are historically known as heresies.

This Tragic Gospel suggests that the "Gospel" of John intended to supplant the first three gospels and succeeded in gaining undue influence on the early churches. This study focuses on the tragic moment when Jesus prays for deliverance from his impending death in the garden of Gethsemane. Ruprecht contends that John rewrote this scene in order to convey a very different dramatic meaning from the one reflected in Mark's gospel. In John's version, not only did Jesus not pray to be spared, he actually mocked this prayer, embracing his imminent demise with godlike confidence. Ruprecht believes that this dramatic reinterpretation undermined the tragedy of Jesus's death as Mark imagined it and so paved the way for the development of a kind of Christianity that focused far less on compassion in the face of human suffering. John's Jesus offers the faithful food so that they will never hunger, water so that they will never thirst, and the promise of a world in which no faithful person ever sheds a tear. Mark's Christians do suffer, but they witness to suffering and death differently...with compassion. Mark's Christ suffers, like all Christians after him, but he embodies a tragic hope in the promise of a faith shored up by love and compassion.

Rutt."After examining the foundation of our Christian faith, and having seen how much valuable information we receive from it, in my Institutes of Natural and Revealed Religion, it is with a kind of reluctance, that... I must now proceed to exhibit a view of the dreadful corruptions which have debased its spirit, and almost annihilated all the happy effects which it was eminently calculated to produce."

Unholy Christianity: How the Church Corrupted the Gospel Two thousand years ago, Jesus declared, "I will build My Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Yet, the fractured nature of today's church with its many sects and denominations begs the question: Are we the church Jesus built? Or have sin, egos, compromise, and ignorance ushered in an unholiness that is leading us astray from the church Christ called us to be? Unholy Christianity offers a candid depiction of Christianity, beginning with the apostles, journeying through the Medieval period and Reformation, and ending with the present. Gerald Haug examines the history of Christianity by investigating the actions, decisions, men, movements, and practices of past Christians that led to the doctrine, divisions, and sects we find today. Unholy Christianity examines Christianity from a global perspective rather than just the narrow lens of one's own culture. This insightful look into Christianity's rich history will help the reader accurately understand how both correct and incorrect actions of the past shape the church of the present. Unholy Christianity will build your faith, sharpen your knowledge, and help you make sense of church history and world events. You will be challenged to never do church the same way again!

Predatory evangelism and corporate Christianity have corrupted any notion of Australia being 'secular' - despite our Constitution and 84% of the population wishing to keep religion out of politics and social policy.Sacred to Secular validates why this is so; what national benefits accrue from becoming 'religion-neutral' - politically and socially - and how that can be achieved. We analyse the spread of Christian fundamentalism in public and private schools, in politics, and how covert lobbyists block a broad swathe of contemporary policy.We juxtapose all this against the highly successful models of Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, and how they've moved on from politicised religion to become stable and highly productive societies (chapter 9). As a rich nation in a modern evidence-based era, Australia is an oddity with its 'illusion' of Christian affiliation. Chapter 5 traces why each national census has grossly inflated the statistics and how the ABS will remedy this.What is it that impedes the evolutionary progress to secularism in Australia? Paradoxically, the vacuum created by falling Catholic and Anglican congregations has been filled with an influx of evangelical churches from America - politicised conservative Christianity in the Tea Party mould that has crippled US Congress. Sacred to Secular studies the small but highly influential Church hierarchy and their lobbyists that dominate the social agenda. We focus too on corporate Christianity with its growing entrepreneurial interests in private health; private schools; aged care; and in tax-free benefits of $31 billion per year - in a period of "budget austerity"."Personal and private faith" is not the issue here - people will believe what they wish - but chapter 7 does review what neuro-science says about religion. Chapter 8 analyses the provenance of Christianity and the New Testament with meticulous research by Dr Richard Carrier - irrefutable proof of 'pious fraud' and fabrication that the public and media will find enlightening. The book comes together at chapter 9 with evidence of Sweden's secular success and why it is a realistic model for Australia's future. Sacred to Secular is based on authoritative and credible research - referencing academics, historians, theologians and respected journalistic sources.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

The Bible is moving, inspirational and endlessly fascinating - but is it true? Starting with Genesis and the implicit background to the birth of Christ, Robin Lane Fox sets out to discover how far biblical descriptions of people, places and events are confirmed or contradicted by external written and archaeological evidence. He turns a sharp historian's eye on when and where the individual books were composed, whether the texts as originally written exist, how the canon was assembled, and why the Gospels give varying accounts even of the trial and condemnation of Jesus.

This insightful book brings profound new insights to the Trinitarian doctrines of “orthodox” Christianity. With clear and precise documentation, the book shows how these doctrines migrated into early Christianity from Greek philosophy. The various aspects of Trinitarian belief are isolated, linked to their Greek sources, and carefully analyzed to show they differ radically from biblical teaching. The Writings of early Church Fathers, portrayed in their historical context, show that during the second century, theological concepts taught in Platonism were adopted as Christianity struggled to end Roman persecution. Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a famous Stoic philosopher, was putting Christians to death because their belief did not conform to the Hellenized religion of the day. The book shows that the early church fathers sought to save their people’s lives by redefining the Christian God in Greek terms. Their efforts brought metaphysics to Christianity and ushered in concepts like the Trinity. After presenting the historical setting in which these philosophical errors were embraced as Christian doctrine, the book compares orthodox Christian theology today, called “classical theism,” to biblical teachings. The book identifies how Greek philosophy has influenced major attributes of God taught in classical theism. The book constitutes a major challenge to those who accept the tenants of classical theism but do not know the many aspects of their doctrine that are based on Greek philosophy.
