Summary

In this highly readable collection of magazine columns. Thomas Ellis argues that disillusion with organized religions stems from Church leaders and theologians who water down the essentials of the Christian faith. Their obsession with being 'relevant' means they have flung out the essentials. Her writing is witty, acerbic and compelling.
