Determined to destroy the credentials of Christian orthodoxy so something better may take its place, author Jon Windness demonstrates what most modern people know but what most Christians refuse to admit: the central tenets of Christian orthodoxy are simply not true. Windness also joins the many charismatics and pietists in calling out the church for its emphasis on "right belief" over the immediate knowledge of God.
Christian orthodoxy is on the verge of a population collapse because of these failures, but out of the ashes will rise a much stronger faith he calls "Kingdom Christianity." Follow Windness in his epic journey as he discovers:
- The demographics behind the coming population collapse.
- The importance of critical thinking in matters religious.
- A surprising new way of conceiving and reading the Bible that resurrects it to a place of honor for the 21st century.
- A phenomenological, psychological, and biblical description of what it is to be "born-again."
- How the fundamentalists hastened the collapse of orthodoxy by protesting too much in their late 20th century culture wars.
- The historical Jesus who really did pour new wine into new wine skins.
- The 1st and 2nd century history of how Christian orthodoxy came to rule the West with its now-impossible Rule of Faith.
Key are three radical breakthroughs during Seven Days in the Wilderness-and a major paradigm change in Christian thought and practice.
