Non-Fiction  
Rescuing Jesus from the Christians

Rescuing Sex from the Christians
(2006)

 

"At last - a book that clearly explains where and how Christian thought about human sexuality may be wrong. Hopefully, this book can help thoughtful Christians let go of sex-related guilt, shame, anxiety, and depression and find more love and joy in relationships."
--Dr. Patricia T. White, Ph.D.
(Clinical Psychologist, Birmingham, Alabama
)

 

 
Rescuing Jesus from the Christians

Rescuing Jesus from the Christians
(2002)

 

This engaging and convincingly written work of personal and pastoral theology helps free Jesus from orthodox Christian dogma.
-- Library Journal

“Highly readable, this book is designed to force Christian leaders into a new honesty and the Christian Church into a New Reformation.  It challenges deeply the formulas of traditional orthodoxy, but does so by quoting from the very sources from which orthodoxy claims its authority.  Sullivan’s words should be heeded by all seekers of truth.”
 --John Shelby Spong, author of A New Christianity for a New World
