Story5 out of 5 stars 9
Have you ever wondered how the God of love and grace, introduced by Jesus—a Jewish rabbi in Israel two thousand years ago who proclaimed His mission not to judge the world but to save it—morphed into a Western fundamentalist god of fear, wrath, and violence? This transformation is rooted in a twisted theology marked by misinterpretations, flawed translations, and verses stripped from their original context. In this book, I aim to expose and refute the doctrine most central to the destructive ideology known as "Christian Fundamentalism."

This books provide sound biblical arguments for what actually took place on the cross. Though I am not a Calvinist a lot of their beliefs in interpreting scripture were intertwined into my own theology. Examining the Old Testament and reading it for what it says opposed to what we believe it is attempting to convey is great wisdom. The way Dr. Bar is able to walk through the text clearly and explain passages in context goes a very long way. I found this book by trying to differentiate God’s “wrath” and God’s “judgement”. Very interested in now reading his book about hell as well. Great read and would 10/10 recommend.
