    Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

    by Catherine M. Wallace ...
    Series Book 1 - Confronting Fundamentalism
    Writing in part for secular humanists, non-Christians, and ex-Christians, Wallace locates the beginning of religious vilification of LBGTQ Americans: these attacks recycle earlier, equally reactionary political opposition to racial desegregation and equal rights for women.

    Series Book 2 - Confronting Fundamentalism
    Confronting Religious Violence: Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination tells the tale of Christian theocracy in the West.

    Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

    by Catherine M. Wallace ...
    Series Book 3 - Confronting Fundamentalism
    Confronting Religious Denial of Science: Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination traces the cultural backstory of contemporary conflicts between biblical literalists who oppose evolution and "New Atheists" who insist that religion is so pernicious it should be outlawed, if not exterminated.

  • The Confrontational Wit of Jesus

    Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

    by Catherine M. Wallace ...
    Series Book 6 - Confronting Fundamentalism
    Jesus did not die to save us from God. He died because the Romans did not tolerate charismatic teachers who attracted a lively following.

The Gospel authors picked up Jesus' witty techniques. They adeptly parodied the literary ... Read more

  • Confronting a Controlling God

    Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

    by Catherine M. Wallace ...
    Series Book 7 - Confronting Fundamentalism
    Christianity has lost control of its brand. That matters even for nonbelievers because Christian symbolism permeates Western culture. It shapes the source code for how we think about ourselves and what we expect from one another. If God is all-controlling, then human control is divinely sanctioned. Our efforts to control one another have cosmic legitimacy--the legitimacy claimed by fundamentalists ... Read more

    Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

They appear in the 19th century, right alongside secular varieties totalitarian thought, and in response to all the same cultural anxieties. ... Read more

  • Confronting Religious Judgmentalism

    Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination

    by Catherine M. Wallace ...
    Series Book 4 - Confronting Fundamentalism
    Come to church or go to hell. That's religious bullying. It's judgmentalism. And it's a theological distortion, a distortion insisting that shame and self-loathing are morally appropriate. In Christian humanist tradition, God is not some cosmic judge eager to smite all of us for our sinfulness. God is compassion. We are cherished by God beyond our wildest imagining. We are called to radical ... Read more
