Forthrightly, but without rancor, in this book the author elucidates the major weaknesses of and problems with Christian fundamentalism. Rather than condemning or rejecting fundamentalism, though, the book forwards a theological understanding of the Christian faith that is truer to the message of Jesus-and one that will be more appealing to readers who are "fed up" with the faults of fundamentalism. Since many people are considering leaving-or have already left-Christianity because of fundamentalism, this book seeks to help such people find and embrace a different, more genuine expression of the faith. The book encourages non-Christians who feel negative toward the Christian religion because of fundamentalism to take another look at Christianity to see that there is a form of that faith which does not include all the odious aspects of fundamentalism. Those who read this well-researched and insightful book, partly based on the author's experiences, will not only gain a fuller understanding of fundamentalism but will also see that it is possible to be a faithful follower of Christ without being a fundamentalist.
