on exactly what "foundational Christian beliefs" is it that you mean to put our focus? The ones that Jesus taught or the ones the churches teach?

I'll get off this book and back to the bible. I guess you will need to read Smith to see all of his criticisms toward the conservative side. He does make some good points about churches igoring the teachings and message of Jesus. That would be his strong suite in the book. He wants to see Christians put their life on the line for the message of Christ and not take too seriously the deity of Christ. I don't think too many folk would argue that is the dogma of liberal Christianity. Hence the soul of Christianity being to accept Jesus in that symbolic sense of being very questionable history but a good tale nonetheless, and a necessary message. I'm finished with Hutson Smith unless there is some more discussion about him. He could just be my little imaginary friend for all you guys know about him. lol.

the oldtimer.
