Repenting of Religion: Turning from Judgment to the Love of God

Rating:
Summary: Christianity Today review, February 2005
Review: "A book riven by self-contradictions and flawed by a hermeneutic so naive it beggars belief. Railing against judgment, Boyd issues sweeping judgments against the church throughout its entire history--judgments that rest almost entirely on sheer assertion."

Rating:
Summary: watered down antinomian easy-believism
Review: Book not recommended for the serious Christian or seeker.

Too lopsided on one aspect of God's character

Does not balance personal skew with God's holy wrath against sin.

Please read Peter's and Paul's sermons/messages to the crowds in the Book of Acts. THAT is authentic Christian Gospel.

The problem is not so much Repenting of Religion, but
Repenting of SIN.

See John MacArthur 'Ashamed of the Gospel' and 'Hard to Believe'
and Greg Laurie 'Upside-down Church'.

If anything should be repented of, it's this book and the author's unbiblical notions.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: I think this book is excellent for the Christian. It is essential for the Christians to love, as Boyd shows. As I am an attender of the church Boyd is the Senior Pastor, this is the primary focus of the church: to love God and one another. That is the law Jesus gave His followers and it is essential for Christians to be love, not judgemental. His book is Biblical and we should have an open mind when reading this, even if we are a Boyd fan or not.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: This book is excellent for the Christian. Since Jesus does give us the commandments to love God and love neighbor, it is essential for the Christian to love and not judge everybody. Since I am an attender to the church Boyd pastors, this is the main point of the church: love God and neighbor.
