Honest To Goodness

Honest to Goodness proposes a new Christian presence that is free of dogmatism, exclusivism, and biblicism.

It charts a way back to the spiritual and ethical revolution begun by Jesus of Nazareth, one that can make a vital difference to needless evils such as bigotry, environmental destruction, poverty, and violence.

The book reveals the author's experience of living under, against, and after apartheid, insisting that a faith that does not confront this world's evils is no faith at all, but a dangerous betrayal of all that is good, beautiful, and true.

Honest to Goodness unflinchingly identifies the grave moral shortcomings that are embedded in traditional Christian beliefs and practices, and proposes ways of transforming them into harmony with the divine goodness that the author discerns everywhere.

Embracing a world of religious diversity, science, and creative philosophy

The book describes a new way of experiencing and expressing the divine. It defends faith by moving beyond both theism and atheism.
