    About this audiobook

    The kingdom of God is a beautiful revolution. Marked by the radical life, love, servanthood, and humility of Jesus, it stands in stark contrast to the values and ways of the world.Regrettably, many who profess to follow Christ have bought into the world’s methods, seeking to impose a sort of Christianized ethical kingdom through politics and control. In this illuminating sequel to his bestselling book The Myth of a Christian Nation, Dr. Gregory Boyd points us to a better way—a way of seeing and living that is consistent with the gospel of Jesus and his kingdom. Between the extremes of passivity on the one hand and political holy war on the other lies the radical, revolutionary path of imitating Jesus.In twelve areas ranging from racial and social issues to stewardship of the planet, this book will convince and inspire you to live a Christlike life of revolt and beauty—and it will help you attain a practical lifestyle of kingdom impact.

      Greg Boyd is a true Christian. In this Book you will find a lot of insight and truth and it will help you a lot to find out what true Christianity is all about. To follow Jesus. Just read the Book! I highly recommend it!

      Challenging, relevant in 2022. Needs to be a must read for Christians who need some guidelines.
    • 4/5
      With much focus on the idolatry of nationalism, patriotism, and violence; all of which Boyd covers in great detail in, "The Myth of a Christian Nation", there doesn't seem to be much new material in this book. However, he does tackle a few additional topics not mentioned in his previous book with honesty and personal transparency; which I really love about Greg Boyd's material. The chapters on the Revolt Against Judgment and Individualism really resonated with me as they seem to be issues I myself struggle with. He had a lot of good insight on these matters that I never really thought much about before. And, the last chapter, Revolt Against Secularism was one of the best chapters. Boyd describes how secularism has permeated our Western culture so much that essentially you cannot tell the difference between a Christian and a non-believer. To break this paradox, Boyd provides practical ways to remind us of God's presence in our lives every moment of the day.In a nutshell, "The Myth of a Christian Religion" was an excellent read, but I thought, "The Myth of a Christian Nation" was much better. However, I still enjoy all of Boyds work and look forward to reading, "The God of the Possible" next.

      Pastor Boyd understands that he is challenging the status quo of Christianity in America. As a religion, he sees Christianity identified with Americanism, consumerism, militarism, racism, and the abuse of both the environment and sexuality. In its place, Boyd calls for a radical discipleship (that he calls a revolution) that challenges those who claim the name of Christ to take Jesus seriously enough to live outrageously impractical lives that look like Jesus instead of looking like American culture.
