A Christian Discussion As I see it, this book's primary value is the expression of opinions within the Christian religion that counter what the author precieves as the politics of the religious right and left. I am all for the discussion and presentation of all sides of political and religious issues, but in a sense this book is rather narrow in its viewpoint. It is all well and good to espouse beliefs, but the narrowness comes in the fact that this is a book essentially about Christianity. The author does take the Christian right and left to task. But the author also seems to think that his viewpoint is the more 'Christian', hence I detect a note of 'This is the way it really is' mindset. The author has no more of a monopoly on truth than anyone else. And what about other religions outside of Christianity? The author does make some token remarks about inclusion of these religions, but his primary focus remains Christianity. As this is presumably what the author intended, he makes a good case for his beliefs. But these criticisms are mere personal opinion. The book is a pretty good read. Worth reading if you're concerned about how religion, specifically Christianity, can fit into the modern world.
