Didn't Christianity have a dark side, with the South African Apartheid regime enjoying Christian support and the Crusades driven by a lust for power and riches, all under the guise of holy war? And what about the modern-day televangelists who prey on the vulnerable, using their platforms to line their pockets? In a refreshingly candid approach, William Edgar tackles these tough questions head-on, refusing to sweep the church's skeletons under the rug. Instead, he shines a light on the good, the bad, and the ugly, revealing a more authentic Christianity that can emerge stronger from its willingness to confront the truth. If you've ever wondered whether Christianity really delivers on its promises, this thought-provoking read is sure to challenge your assumptions and deepen your understanding, regardless of your starting point.
