"The Myth of a Christian Religion".
Här är ett litet citat från första kapitlet:
God had been teaching me that the Kingdom of God not only can't be identified with any political party, ideology, or nation; it also can't be identified with any human institution, including the Church, or any organized religion, including Christianity.Rather, the Kingdom of God displays the beautiful character and behavior of the One who first embodied it.
It always looks like Jesus - loving, serving, and sacrificing himself for all people, including his enemies.To the extent that any individual, church, or movement looks like that, it manifests the Kingdom of God. To the extent that it doesn't look like that, it doesn't.It's that simple.
Spännade va?

Guds rike rör sig, alltså. Guds rike som det goda i vilken form det än kommer.
Men kan man inte också se Guds rike som det sammantagna, helheten? Att det finns någon slags mening också i motsägelserna här på jorden (efter döden - who knows) mellan oss människor. Då blir Guds rike inte bara det som vi upplever som gott utan också problempunkterna där vi möts. Förstår ni?
