7 Books That Rocked the Church, by Daniel Crane, explores
controversial books throughout history that the Christian church
has famously disavowed-and asks the question why? Engagingly
written and thoughtfully researched, this book explores what the
"fuss" was all about with books ranging in date from the second
century after Christ to more contemporary authors. Books by Karl
Marx, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei, and many others profoundly
upset the church by calling into question foundational Christian
doctrines or beliefs. Most of the books discussed here were banned
at some time by Christian authorities. The author's aim is to
challenge Christians to respond critically but open-mindedly to
books that oppose a Christian worldview. Readers of 7 Books That
Rocked the Church will come away better equipped to answer the
charge that the church is intolerant of competing ideas. They will
also develop the ability to interact with new and possibly
dangerous ideas that comport with Jesus' admonition to be wise as
serpents but gentle as doves. This book also includes discussion
questions for further study. 1. Valentinus the Gnostic: Who Doesn't
Love a Conspiracy Theory? (Think The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown) 2.
Galileo Galilei: A Scandal of Religion, Science, and Politics 3.
Voltaire's Candide, Enlightenment Rationalism, and the Church's
Thin Skin 4. Darwin's Origin of Species: The Many Faces of
Evolutionary Theory 5. Marx's Communist Manifesto: The Red Bull of
the Masses 6. Sigmund Freud's Ego 7. Joseph Campbell: Christianity
as an (Almost) Enlightened Myth (A book that strongly influenced
George Lucas's Star Wars films)
