Ghosties & Ghoulies & Long-Legged Beasties & Things That Go Bump In The Night Don E. Post, Ph.D.
A short and concise synopsis of Christianity that takes issue with the current resurgence of medieval superstitions.
(PRWEB) May 15, 2005 -- Finally, a refreshing primer for anyone examining Christian beliefs. While affirming Gods compassionate love and acceptance as revealed in the Christ event, Ghosties and Ghoulies provides a provocative Biblical view of God, Jesus, the eventual canonization of the Bible, and sketches the history of the Church over 2000 years. The author points out that much of our contemporary Christian beliefs originated in medieval lore and superstition.
Christianity, an act of God that enables one to live free from fear, magic and superstition, stands over-against religion, which comprises all the acts we perform trying to manipulate God and/or justify our own lives.
Author bio: A United Methodist minister, anthropologist and sociologist by background, Dr. Posts book comprises a series of letters to his grandchildren, meant to help them as they struggle through their own faith journey. It is useful to anyone seeking to make sense of Christianity in a time when medieval superstitions seem have gained new life.
