An Open Christianity

Theology

“An Open Christianity is a book for persons who still seek to live authentic and true Christianity in the way and manner of Jesus in the twenty-first century dominated by science and technology, and an anti-science ‘Christian nationalism’ that attempts to control, dominate, and rule all of religious belief and practice. The book seeks to give a fresh, new life into an understanding of the term ‘God’ and what that means for persons of faith—with that built on a foundation of a deeper human comprehension and understanding of who Jesus really was and what he lived and taught and what he wanted human persons to be in concerned, compassionate connection to, with, for, and on behalf of others. Of course, what I’ve said here can only be comprehended and understood by reading the book and seeking to live the realities it details. This book will be a serious resource for those struggling with the faith of Christianity and old claims that no longer hold any significant meaning in the modern world. It will be a significant resource for pastors who want to be more open and honest about the issues of faith with the people they serve through their ministry. It is written and published at a time in history when it is needed more than ever for those seeking to live an authentic and true faith that Jesus lived and taught. The author of this book, Sam Gould, is an exceptional lay theologian who is deeply concerned with an authentic and true faith that can be lived in the modern world and is willing to share his deep concerns with others through his writing.”
