ABOUT THE BOOK The following information is pertinent for anyone who considers reading this book: . Dare To Question objectively examines the many concepts of Christianity that defy common sense or lead to paradoxical conclusions. It scrutinize myths and miraculous claims that are based, not on solid evidence or sound reasoning, but on assertions of divine inspiration, and whose sources are accounts that have undergone numerous translations, transcriptions and interpretations. . The author, in no way, demeans the moral teachings of Jesus. I consider his ethical messages above reproach, and to be the true essence and value of the Christian religion. . Dare To Question was written to illustrate the problems involved in assuming that there is only one valid interpretation of any biblical scripture. The book identifies problems involving classical interpretations and offers alternative points of view. The primary objective is not to prove or disprove, but to encourage objective thinking. Single-minded worldviews are replaced by pluralistic concepts. Relativism is prioritized and absolutism discouraged. The "middle ground" worldview replaces the fundamentalist's "right-or-wrong" approach. . It is important for the reader to understand that Dare To Question is not intended as a narrative. It is a compilation of over one hundred topics each of which can be read and examined out of context. Therefore, the topics can be read in any order. And since the topics are self-contained, they will necessarily include certain information found in other topics. This required the incorporation of a degree of redundancy that might be disturbing to the reader, if he chooses to read the book from beginning toend, rather than selecting and evaluating each topic on a stand-alone bases . A word of warning. If the reader is completely satisfied with the validity of all he or she has been taught regarding religious dogmas and doctrines-do not read this book. Place it back on the shelf and select one that is less challenging. If absolute faith in all Christian concepts works for you, then why become disturbed by alternative viewpoints? Thinking "outside the box" is not for everyone. Discounts Available: www.innercirclepublishing.com
