Think Again: A Response to Fundamentalism's Claim on Christianity
Think Again A Response to Fundamentalism's Claim on Christianity Author:Cox Based on a series of sermons, "Think Again" makes the argument that certain aspects of fundamentalism are negative forces within Christianity not because of the fundamental beliefs themselves, but because of the judgment that often accompanies them. Cox writes, "For example, it is perfectly acceptable to believe Jesus was born of a virgin. It is... more » not acceptable to think a person who disagrees with you on the subject is going to hell." He continues, "My prayer is that this book will offer encouragement and hope to those who struggle with their faith. It is okay to wrestle with God! We are commanded to love God with heart, soul and mind. We cannot love God with our mind if we are afraid to think or frightened to ask honest questions."
