I bought the kindle version; and then the hard copy so that I could lend ii out. It has some interesting predictions about the direction that faith is heading. Basically the early church began as a religion of faith but then; as the church became more powerful; it began to take the shape of the Roman government--the villains of the early church. This is when it became a religion of belief or creeds; and if you couldn't profess your faith within the guidelines of the creed; you were considered a heretic. This happened after Constantine make Christianity the official religion of the state and the counsel of Nicaea occurred. As for the future; because of the influence of Buddhism and just Spirituality in general and the obvious damage that rigid; fundamental belief systems have had; the future of faith appears to be moving in a more spiritual direction. So it's gone from a religion of faith to a religion of belief and now is moving toward a religion of spirit--and that's a good thing!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Evolution of ChristianityBy Elizabeth WarrenHarvey Cox is a well-known scholar of the Harvard Divinity School who has written a number of books on Christianity and American society. In this book he talks about what he perceives as the current revival of original Christianity; religious behavior as taught by Jesus; without the structure of a hierarchy and without a prescribed belief system. It is as if people can enjoy life free of the burdens imposed by clergy of whatever persuasion.I would like to know how Cox's philosophy relates to those of modern atheists or non-believers. I think there are elements of his thinking that fit comfortably within the non-believer's book: the freeing of the soul from hierarchies and creeds and the symbols that accompany them. He points out that Christianity thrives authentically in Africa today. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to see an interpretation of the religion preached by Jesus in the first three centuries after his life; and how it can be practiced today and tomorrow.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very interesting--looking forward to reading more by Harvey Cox!By Hannah ArmstrongI really enjoyed this book! If you're interested in looking at Christianity from a "big picture" perspective; this will probably be an enjoyable read. I felt inspired and challenged on a personal level; too; more so than I do with most books about Christianity (especially those in the more individual-oriented vein.) It's sad that "Christianity" can be so focused on belief-questions that distract from the faith; the heart of Christ. The Christian movement is such a complex and interesting thing; and I thought Harvey Cox conveyed a very clear version of its story! I really wish more people would read books like this!
