Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the contrast between early Christian teachings and contemporary legalism, the book urges Christians to embrace Jesus' call to avoid judgment and violence. It examines the historical development of Christian thought, highlighting how early believers adhered to the principles of altruistic love and rejected punitive judgment. The narrative reveals how the emergence of formal legal systems and philosophical dualism led to a schism between private spirituality and public morality, fostering a reliance on legal order and sanctioned violence.
