Busted: Exposing Popular Myths about Christianity by Fred von Kamecke
Busted
Thanks to Andrew Rogers of Zondervan for sending me this book to review. I had requested for Andrew to send me a book that he thought would be a good book for my readers. I think he chose quite well.
Busted deals with various myths about Christianity. Kamecke, as he writes, does not take the pains to document his sources. Neither does he write in a scholarly fashion. He writes for the common person who does not have the time to fight his way through difficult tomes to find the answers that they are seeking.
Busted busts many myths about Christianity. Whether the myth is that Christianity is a cruel, heartless religion, or that Jesus didn’t die on the cross, or that Jesus didn’t rise from the dead; these myths are busted. Perhaps one has heard the myth that the Bible books were chosen by a bunch of big-wigs in the fourth century, and were not simply thee Word of God as recognized by the church- Busted!
On, and on, and on, Kamecke simply destroys myth after myth.
What is very nice about this is that the book deals with the issue at hand in a very good manner. This book has no vitriolic tone. Neither does it call names or ridicule. In fact, good-natured humor plays a large role in the book.
At the end of each chapter is included a section that gives resources that one can go to for the purpose of learning even more about that particular myth.
I hope that this book gets the attention that it deserves. It is a gift to God’s people, that is definite.
