兩年前曾在不同場合提過Unchristian一書,喜見天道有膽出它的中譯。值得一推!

You become like what you worship. You reflect the one you worship.

Those who help me understand what He said
What we think He is saying
What the world is saying
What the world is expressing
We depend so much on technology, yet we hardly care to know anything about it.
Great minds I finished (or gave up) wrestling with
Great minds that demand me to wrestle with
Where they are

Christians Are Hate-Filled Hypocrites…and Other Lies You’ve Been Told: A Sociologist Shatters Myths From the Secular and Christian Media by Bradley R.E. Wright

It’ll be interesting to compare the statistics of these two books.

UnChristian is a book about perceptions from non-Christians on Christians, and what we should do about such perceptions. Its purpose is not so much about testing whether these perceptions are true or not.
As the authors argue, even if they are not and even if our non-Christian friends have all misunderstood us, the task is still on us as to how we can can turn the tide. Nobody will do that for us.
So I guess Wright’s book might help some what, and bust some myths (only) if it is read by our non-Christian friends…

I hear what you are saying, but I just wonder if the UnChristian surveys are well conducted or not.
Taking a peek inside Wright’s book, it seems like he is specifically targeting and criticizing the UnChristian book’s thesis and data.
Well, I have read neither, so I cannot comment further. Maybe one day I will.
