Publisher's Synopsis
Christianity has lost a lot of credibility in the modern age. Everything - from carnival-hustler preachers to merchandising to real estate schemes and communications empires - has turned the basic teachings of Jesus into a total circus. An increasing number of people have turned against religion for exactly this reason.Comedian Bill Kilpatrick examines the Christian faith from another perspective. Instead of focusing on what Christians should believe, Bill asks what Christians should do. Taking the Sermon on the Mount as his guide, Bill looks at the fundamental principles of a Christian lifestyle. Can we get back to basics? What kind of life do these teachings ask of us?Looking at Christians as "doers of the word and not hearers only," Bill talks about what Christianity has to offer a world without religion. Could Christianity be practiced even by the non-religious and if so, what would it look like?
