Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Myth of a Christian Religion
Gregory A. Boyd · 2009
🎙 Narrated by Art Carlson
71/100
👍 Worth It
Boyd's argument that Jesus came to inaugurate a kingdom of self-sacrificial love rather than a religion or political order is sharp and well-articulated, and it's clearly generated real conversation. Reception is genuinely polarized — some found it a clarifying, prophetic critique, others (mostly more conservative readers) felt it aimed unevenly at one side of the political spectrum — so know that going in, even though the content itself isn't graphic or unsafe. No narration review was found, so the audio is an unknown.
