Doubts and Loves - Tapa blanda

Arguing that it is better to use Christianity as good poetry than as bad science, Holloway sets out to deconstruct its doctrines. The result is a timely and hugely important book--a heartfelt and passionately argued case for salvaging the challenge of Jesus by revealing the essence of his teachings and showing why they remain revolutionary.
