Reviews

Once again Dan Maguire's new book is at the cutting edge. Passionate, yet crystal clear, Christianity without God distills the essential Christian message from the mythological and theological accretions that have distorted it. It's a message we need today, more than ever. - David R. Loy, author of Awareness Bound and Unbound: Buddhist Essays For many of us, Maguire's book will be a kind of homecoming. Someone, at last, has had the courage to write what so many of us have been thinking. - John C. Raines, author of The Justice Men Owe Women: Positive Resources from World Religions With immense learning and considerable charm, Daniel Maguire evokes a Christianity freed from dogma, literalism, self-righteousness, and terror. Believers and skeptics alike can delight in what's left: poetry, morality, a sense of awe and wonder. In a word, humanity. - Katha Pollitt, author of The Mind-Body Problem: Poems
