Description

The American Religion in General is an invigorating challenge to Christian churches to face up to their dying influence-a result of thier fundamentalism, biblical literalism, racism, homophobia, militarism, and theological exclusivity. All, Willoughby says, are at variance with the spirit and teaching of the historic Jesus, who preached inclusiveness, nonviolence, compassion, and sharing... and whose power is invitational rather then coercive.
