The Church of Belief Science's Reform Christianity Bible (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

This is a postmodern revision of the four Gospels. It is an affirming, inspiring, and positive version of the Gospels. The Gospels are revised according to the principles of the Church of Belief Science, a fully postmodern church. Readers will experience a reformed Christianity which is positive, inclusive, and embracing. The revision provides a picture of Jesus of Nazareth, a man who believed he held a special place in the history of his people. In this version of the Bible, there is no hell, condemnation, or sin. It is a narrative of the power of love over hate, non-violence over violence, faith over death, and hope over hopelessness. It is written to be friendly to sexual minorities and, as far as possible, it is gender neutralized. Although the Bible is patriarchal, this version is more friendly to women. It is also friendly to people with disabilities, as any reference to disability related to sin or possession is modified. Jesus's commandment--to love one another as he loved--is the focus of this narrative. Readers will want to return to this text regularly as they will find it to be a spiritual guide and a welcoming manual for religious practice.

Autor

Robert Rocco Cottone was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1952. He was raised in the post World War II Italian-American culture in the suburbs of St. Louis and had a story-book boyhood right from the pages of Mark Twain. He would ride his bike for hours to watch the barges at the Alton lock and dam, and he was enthralled with the power of the mighty Mississippi. He attended Catholic grade school and later switched to public schools in the St. Louis suburbs. During the Viet Nam War he remained stateside and was a medic in the Air Force. He later attended the University of Missouri-Columbia and earned a degree in psychology. He continued his studies earning a master's degree in counseling at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He earned a Ph.D. degree at St. Louis University in 1980. He is currently a licensed psychologist and a Professor of Counseling and Family Therapy at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. He has authored over 90 professional and scientific articles and several books, including: Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: Individual and Relational Approaches (2017, Springer Publishing Company); Ethics and Decision Making in Counseling and Psychotherapy, with Vilia Tarvydas (2016, Springer Publishing Company); High Romance: A Book of Romantic Self-expression (2012, Smashwords); Paradigms of Counseling and Psychotherapy (2012; Smashwords); The Church of Belief Science: A Complete Guide to Philosophy and Practice (2012, Smashwords) and Toward a Positive Psychology of Religion: Belief Science in the Postmodern Era (2011, John Hunt Publishing).

In 2007 he founded the Church of Belief Science, a church completely established on postmodern philosophy, where relationships are crucial to all understanding and experience. His most recent publication is: The Church of Belief Science's Reform Christianity Bible (2019, Smashwords) which is a positive, fully affirming, and inspiring revision of the Gospels of the New Testament.
