Summary:
Countless thoughtful people are now so disgusted with the marriage of bad theology and hypocritical behavior by the
church
that a new Reformation is required in which the purpose of religion itself is reimagined. Meyers takes the best of biblical scholarship and recasts these core
Christian
concepts to exhort the
church
to pursue an alternative vision of the
Christian
life
: Jesus as teacher, not savior; Christianity as compassion, not condemnation; Prosperity as dangerous, not divine; discipleship as obedience, not control; religion as relationship, not righteousness. This is not a call to the
church
to move to the far left or to try something brand new. Rather, it is the recovery of something very old. Saving Jesus from the
Church
shows us what it means to be a
Christian
and how to follow Jesus' teachings today.--From publisher description.
