Challenging and full of truth

Top 5
What was one of the most memorable moments of Myth of a Christian Nation?
How he challenges thoughts on abortion and homosexuality.
What does Richard Allen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Actually he was a little boring to listen to but the material he read was great.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Going to make a majority of people upset
Any additional comments?
This book was full of truth, and really challenging. If you''re looking for a book that is going to cheer on the American faith you already have then this ain't the book. However, if you truly want to challenge your biblical faith this book will do that. Great book, great perspective!
Recommended by a Prof
My American Church History prof in seminary recommended that I read this after I raised a series of questions after class. I found too many holes in official accounts, including books on his syllabus.
Here my questions were answered. If you're uncomfortable with how Christianity has overlapped with nationalism, this could be helpful.
I think it would have been even more powerful if Dr. Boyd would have narrated his book.
a solid case
Not an easy listen at first but it is good material on how to approach politics as a Christian.
Fantastically Counter Culture
What Gregory R. Boyd proposes is a Christianity devoid of nationalistic ties. Living mirrored by Christ, not by "my country/church/beliefs is/are more godly than yours."
My only complaint was Richard Allen's narration, though well done and articulate, was a bit dull.
A Bold and Biblical Stance
This is one of the most relevant and challenging books of our time. The Kingdom of God is an affront and alternative to the nation-states that Satan holds in his hands (Luck 4:5-6). Christians cannot settle for a more Christian version of a worldly nation. we are altogether a different kind of Kingdom.
