BOOKLOCKER.COM “New Release” challenges traditional biblical theologies!!
(PRWEB) November 25, 1999
“Beyond Religion” by Alexander Penman is an inspirational work that challenges traditional biblical theologies. This is done by defining and validating faith without religious discrimination and by establishing that where the welfare of the human soul is concerned, religion has never been the issue.
On the subject of faith, this book offers reconciliation between people of different religions, and between the religious and non-religious. It presents the case that all faith is valid, regardless of whether or not the Âsupposed correct religion has been adopted.
“Beyond Religion” is entirely based upon a “law of love” that is found within the pages of the Bible. This law has never been properly understood, therefore religion has become the issue, replacing faith and love.
Beyond Religion examines theological mistakes that have been made throughout history because of a failure to understand this one crucial law. It demonstrates that when this law is added to the equation, the Bible ceases to be a collection of books full of contradictions and instead becomes a collection of books worthy of a God.
Beyond Religion is dedicated to every caring person who has ever, or will ever live.
METAPHYSICAL REVIEWS
Occasionally, indeed rarely, a book of great magnitude crosses my desk. A book with such depth is the subject of this review. BEYOND RELIGION “…presents religion as being the creation of people as opposed to an instrument of God.” Author Alexander Penman has given us a new and refreshing look at the bible…and the law of love.
Mr. Penman presents the case that bible-based religions “…can become a very powerful force that can control the actions of people. Very seldom does the result of this control have anything to do with the love of God.” Stated another way “…people are not automatically religious simply because they believe in God. This is true because every human being possesses a quality called ‘faith’.”
Thus, non-religious people could believe in God every bit as much as religious people do, and their faith would be every bit as valid. Beyond that, man’s law which sometimes nullifies biblical teachings, would be set aside, or as Mr. Penman quotes Jesus, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commandments of God in order to observe your own traditions.”
The purpose of the bible is to expose God’s word, and God’s word identifies good verses evil. That differentiation is known as love. Not crusades. Not inquisitions. Not witch-hunts. And, according to Alexander Penman, not belief systems that force us into religious conclusions.
BEYOND RELIGION speaks of a law the offers freedom, not shackles. “This law was established for the salvation of every human being who has ever cared.” And this law is administered by God, not man. Alexander Penman has given us a book people will still turn to a hundred years from now.
