In fact, Church attendance took priority over most all other family activities. Considering his extensive protestant background with its specific definition of Christianity, not much of his early training is reflected in his present concepts and conclusions about the bible, God, the church, prayer, or even the definition of Christianity itself.
He has authored three other books critiquing Christianity as it is taught and practiced: A View From The Pew, Let Us Create God In Our Own Image and Ole Wives Tales and Church Doctrine. It is interesting that his books reflect an evolution of opinion over a ten year period on such subjects as “The Trinity” as well as the definition of just who Jesus was and the stated purpose of His mission. He explains this as being the result of a continued “seeking” of the truth. He also sees it as examples of being able to emerge from what one has been taught to a new understanding based on scripture. Over time, the studies that went into writing those first three books led him to what he believed to be an inescapable conclusion discovered in the contradictory writings of Paul. This current book, “The Paul Factor” is reflected in each of his other writings, which over time just naturally came together to be an unexpected conclusion to all of his searching. That search had led him to question specific scripture which revealed how Paul and other individuals ignored what Jesus taught and how they reversed Jesus’ instructions, which had the affect of putting men in charge of Institutional Christianity and subsequently in charge of those seeking God through Jesus.weniger sehen
