Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. For over 300 years, people have occupied the perplexing paradox of being drawn to Christianity's message of hope and love while simultaneously being infected by the bitter partisanship and mutual hatred of its sects. What accounts for this irrational behavior? This book seeks to understand the historical and sociological origins of Christian sectarianism and argues that Christianity, by its nature, lends itself to sectarian divisions. The author traces the roots of sectarianism to the tension between the universal claims of the gospel and its divisive effects in real-life communities. Moreover, the author contends that modern variations of sectarianism result from the same paradoxical combination of unity and division. The book concludes that, while Christian sectarianism inevitably distorts the message of unity and love, it can also be a source of faithfulness to the gospel. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the author's argument, this book will provoke thought and hopefully lead to a greater understanding of the complex relationship between Christianity and human nature.
