New Study Beginning May 2, 2010 on Sunday Afternoons
Saving Jesus from the Church: How to Stop Worshiping Christ and Start Following Jesus by Robin Meyers- what a provocative title! In this book, Meyers takes the best of biblical scholarship and recasts core Christian concepts in an effort to save Christianity from its obsession with only personal salvation. This is not a plea to try something brand new, but rather the recovery of something very old. Saving Jesus from the Church seeks to show us what it means to follow Jesus’ teachings today.
Note these endorsements by past Perkins Lecturers:
- “Meyers’ insightful and provocative critique of contemporary Christianity will stimulate energetic theologizing: deconstruction, reconstruction, or impassioned defense of the inherited tradition. Thank you, Robin, for convening this urgently needed conversation.” (Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr., president and founder of The Healing of the Nations Foundation)
- “The time is right for this book and this book is right for the time.” (Fred B. Craddock, Bandy Distinguished Professor of Preaching and New Testament Emeritus, Emory University)
