title: Christianity without God: Moving beyond the Dogmas and Retrieving the Epic Moral Narrative
author: Daniel C. Maguire
description: [a] well-thought case  Both atheists and theists will appreciate a revamped view of Christianity relevant to todays fraught world.  <i>WATER</i><br /><br />Once again Dan Maguires new book is at the cutting edge. Passionate, yet crystal clear, <i>Christianity without God</i> distills the essential Christian message from the mythological and theological accretions that have distorted it. Its a message we need today, more than ever.  David R. Loy, author of <i>Awareness Bound and Unbound: Buddhist Essays</i><br /><br />For many of us, Maguires book will be a kind of homecoming. Someone, at last, has had the courage to write what so many of us have been thinking.  John C. Raines, author of <i>The Justice Men Owe Women: Positive Resources from World Religions</i><br /><br />With immense learning and considerable charm, Daniel Maguire evokes a Christianity freed from dogma, literalism, self-righteousness, and terror. Believers and skeptics alike can delight in whats left: poetry, morality, a sense of awe and wonder. In a word, humanity.  Katha Pollitt, author of <i>The Mind-Body Problem: Poems</i>
