Remedial Christianity
What Every Believer Should Know about the Faith, but Probably Doesn’t
by Paul Alan Laughlin
Remedial Christianity views Christianity from both within and without. With a wide angle, it views Christianity as one of the world’s major religions and contrasts and compares its doctrine and practice with those of other great religions. In narrower focus, it examines not only the distinctively Christian beliefs, but the breadth of Christianities within Christianity. Written clearly and with humor, Remedial Christianity provides a valuable tool for everyone seeking to understand Christianity and to forge a viable and sustainable personal faith.
“An excellent, amazingly thorough and consistently interesting book, clear and lively writing, substantial, provocative and yet sound. Admirably suited for college and church classroom use, as well as for individual readers.”
— Marcus Borg, author of Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time
“ This book is a wonderful introductory text. … It is a clear and readable overview of Christianity that mixes humor with education. Remedial Christianity will be a welcome addition to our curriculum.”
—Rev. Dr. Mary Tumpkin, President, Universal Foundation for Better Living
“It has been said that, just as an unexamined life is not worth living, a faith that is exempt from examination or confirmation (or dis-confirmation) is not worth having, and that the Church is doing its best work when it is busy asking questions, not giving answers. Remedial Christianity is an ideal point of departure for anyone who embraces either of those propositions.”
—Rick Hubbard, The American Alliance for Religious Literacy
