    I agree with Kinnaman’s unbiased assessment of Christianity and I find his research extremely helpful, because it provides us with a clear idea and an approximation of the precise degree of disdain and distrust others have towards the Christian faith. Furthermore, his research permits us to stand apart and examine ourselves as Christians. Kinnaman’s research results uncovered the most common points of skepticism and objections raised by outsiders towards the church and Christianity (Kinnaman, 2007). According to Kinnaman, the six issues or themes outsiders have against believers are the following: 1) Hypocritical 2)

Ultimately, Thompson and Auslander’s reasons for leaving their traditions both stem from personal and familial experiences within their religious community. The main difference between Thompson and Auslander’s experiences with their religions is that Thompson before becoming disillusioned with Christianity had been enamored with it..

    The creation of United Churches in Canada, USA, Britain, Zambia, Madagascar, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, New Guinea, Australia and China during the twentieth century, each of them binding into one several former denominations, appears to have reached a pause, if not a full stop. Ecumenical discussion has moved towards what has been called ‘’reconciled diversity’’ as the aim. The diversity is plain, in ministry, authority structures, worship, theological emphasis, social witness and interpretation of the Bible. This diversity is precious in that it enables peoples of all sorts to find a home in a local fellowship of believers.

  • More Than A Carpenter Summary

    894 Words  | 4 Pages

    McDowell begins the book with an anecdote of his life; a familiar story of the sceptical university Agnostic, ready to fire back a retort at the slightest mention of God, Christianity, and anything (or anyone) within. He recounted the all too common feeling of a meaningless life, the seemingly innate itch of human existence, and how it brought him to various places in his life—until he stumbled upon a particular group of people and was changed forever. This introduction, though short, is crucial to understand, for it sets the stage for the remainder of the book. It tells not only the story of a former non-believer, but the story of everyone—it presents us the life of Jesus Christ, not as a gentle sermon or a feel-good retelling, but as an assertive, rational reply to the accusation: ‘Christianity is a myth, and so is your God.’
