Have you ever investigated doctrines that create religion? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a personal and investigative journey through faith and religious dogma. Beginning with the author's upbringing in the Catholic Church, it explores the early doubts and discomfort that arose from doctrines centered on fear, ritual, and religious authority. Even as a child, the author sensed a disconnect between organized religion and a genuine relationship with God, leading to years of questioning and eventual separation from the Church. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the author examined Scripture more closely, significant questions began to emerge regarding the foundations of Christian doctrines, the role of religious institutions, the influence of church tradition, and the apparent contradictions within biblical interpretation itself. Questions like: Why does Christianity rely so heavily on the writings of an apostle who never personally walked with Jesus during His ministry? Why do the messages and portrayals of God in the Old and New Testaments often appear so different? Why are there thousands of denominations claiming exclusive truth? Why do certain theological teachings seem disconnected from the words of Jesus? And how much of modern religion is shaped by human systems rather than divine revelation? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than abandoning faith, these questions strengthened the author's conviction that God exists beyond the structures of organized religion. The book argues that faith and religion are not synonymous: faith is deeply personal and spiritual, while religion often becomes institutional, political, and controlled by human authority. Through historical analysis, scriptural examination, and personal reflection, the author challenges readers to reconsider long-held assumptions about Christianity, religious tradition, and doctrines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt its core, this book is not an attack on God or sincere believers, but an invitation to think critically, ask difficult questions, and pursue truth beyond familiarity. It encourages readers who feel disillusioned by religion, burdened by dogma, or unsettled by contradictions to seek a more authentic and direct relationship with God - one rooted in personal faith rather than institutional control.","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890416566423,"sku":"9798198634589","price":1042.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798198634589.webp?v=1781179938","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/deconstructing-christianity-how-to-untangle-from-religious-dogma-and-keep-the-faith-9798198634589","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
