  • CONFRONTING A CONTROLLING GOD
    CATHERINE M. WALLACE
    Christianity has lost control of its brand. That matters even for nonbelievers because Christian symbolism permeates Western culture.

Our efforts to control one another have cosmic legitimacy--the legitimacy claime...

  • THE CONFRONTATIONAL WIT OF JESUS
    CATHERINE M. WALLACE

  • CONFRONTING RELIGIOUS JUDGMENTALISM
    CATHERINE M. WALLACE
    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.

    CATHERINE M. WALLACE
    Confronting Religious Violence: Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination tells the tale of Christian theocracy in the West.

  • CONFRONTING RELIGIOUS DENIAL OF GAY MARRIAGE
    CATHERINE M. WALLACE
