false 4956232 1 For so many the Christian faith is viewed as little more than a drug that enables the weak to escape reality. An opiate that helps its users to avoid facing the injustice of the world and making a stand against it. In short, the Christian faith is perceived to be a counter-revolutionary ideology that keeps people passive, infantile and ineffectual. In contrast Rollins has created a series of parables that shatter this popular perception. Parables that demonstrate how radical faith has never been concerned with escaping the world we inhabit but rather with engaging in it more fully. That genuine Christian faith has never capitulated to injustice but rather fought against it at every turn. “I remember driving around Belfast with Pete, sitting in the front seat listening to him tell these parables that he'd written—thinking, ‘Everybody needs to hear these.’ And now you can.” —Rob Bell, author of Jesus Wants to Save Christians 5022032 1 4 2009 The Orthodox Heretic And Other Impossible Tales total:10|5:4|4:4|3:1|2:0|1:1| 10 40 46 2 5 0 false false Thu Aug 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 20:19:45 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 21:08:57 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 17 07:27:33 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 20 17:38:02 -0700 2009
