Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

Confronting a Controlling God
Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination
Language: English
Release Date: August 24, 2016

Confronting Religious Judgmentalism
Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination
Language: English
Release Date: May 23, 2016
Come to church or go to hell. That's religious bullying. It's judgmentalism. And it's a theological distortion, a distortion insisting that shame and self-loathing are morally appropriate.
