- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Greg Boyd is a true Christian. In this Book you will find a lot of insight and truth and it will help you a lot to find out what true Christianity is all about. To follow Jesus. Just read the Book! I highly recommend it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Challenging, relevant in 2022. Needs to be a must read for Christians who need some guidelines.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5With much focus on the idolatry of nationalism, patriotism, and violence; all of which Boyd covers in great detail in, "The Myth of a Christian Nation", there doesn't seem to be much new material in this book. However, he does tackle a few additional topics not mentioned in his previous book with honesty and personal transparency; which I really love about Greg Boyd's material. The chapters on the Revolt Against Judgment and Individualism really resonated with me as they seem to be issues I myself struggle with. He had a lot of good insight on these matters that I never really thought much about before. And, the last chapter, Revolt Against Secularism was one of the best chapters. Boyd describes how secularism has permeated our Western culture so much that essentially you cannot tell the difference between a Christian and a non-believer. To break this paradox, Boyd provides practical ways to remind us of God's presence in our lives every moment of the day.In a nutshell, "The Myth of a Christian Religion" was an excellent read, but I thought, "The Myth of a Christian Nation" was much better. However, I still enjoy all of Boyds work and look forward to reading, "The God of the Possible" next.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pastor Boyd understands that he is challenging the status quo of Christianity in America. As a religion, he sees Christianity identified with Americanism, consumerism, militarism, racism, and the abuse of both the environment and sexuality. In its place, Boyd calls for a radical discipleship (that he calls a revolution) that challenges those who claim the name of Christ to take Jesus seriously enough to live outrageously impractical lives that look like Jesus instead of looking like American culture.
