The author of "The Gospel of" "Inclusion" continues to rouse
organized religion as he raises controversial issues and provides
enlightening answers to the deepest questions about God and faith.
What is God? Where is God? Who is the one true God? Questions such
as these have driven a thousand human struggles, through war,
terrorism, and oppression. Humanity has responded by branching off
into multiple religions, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam--each one pitted against the other. But it doesn't have to be
that way.
In "God Is Not a Christian, nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu" . . ., the
provocative and acclaimed Bishop Carlton Pearson follows up on his
celebrated first book, "The Gospel of Inclusion," to tackle these
questions and many more, exploring new ideas about God and faith
and putting forth the stunning assertion that God belongs to no
particular religion but is an ever-loving presence available to
all. For these beliefs, Bishop Pearson lost his thriving
Pentecostal ministry but was catapulted instead into a greater
pulpit. His readership has grown through appearances on national
television and an extensive speaking schedule. With the world in
the midst of a holy war, there is no better time for the wisdom of
Bishop Pearson to reach a global audience.
Bishop Pearson's many loyal fans, along with new readers, will
surely welcome this provocative and eye-opening exploration of a
deeper faith, one that goes far beyond any fundamentalist way of
thinking, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Simply put,
Bishop Pearson dares to tell the truth so many others are too
afraid to face.
Fourth-generation fundamentalist Carlton Pearson, a Christian
megastar and host, takes a courageous and controversial stand on
religion that proposes a hell-less Christianity and a gospel of
inclusion that calls for an end to local and worldwide conflicts
and divisions along religious lines.
"The Gospel of Inclusion" explores the exclusionary doctrines in
mainstream religion and concludes that according to the evidence of
the Bible and irrefutable logic, they cannot be true. Bishop
Pearson argues that the controlling dogmas of religion are the
source of much of the world's ills and that we should turn our
backs on proselytizing and holy wars and focus on the real good
news: that we are all bound for glory, everybody is saved, and if
we believe God loves all mankind, then we have no choice but to
have the same attitude ourselves.
"The Gospel of Inclusion" also tells the story of a powerful
religious figure who watched everything he had crumble due to a
scandal. Why? He didn't steal money nor did he have inappropriate
sexual relationships. Following a revelation from God, he began to
preach that a loving God would not condemn most of the human race
to hell because they are not Christian. Hepreaches that God belongs
to no religion. "The Gospel of Inclusion" is the journey of one
man's quest to preach a new truth.
