Description
Bestselling author Michael Coren explodes popular myths about the history, beliefs, and culture of Christianity.
In Heresy: Ten Lies They Spread About Christianity, Michael Coren, author of the bestselling Why Catholics Are Right, explores why and how Christians and Christian ideas are caricatured in popular media as well as in sophisticated society and addresses ten common lies told about Christianity: that it supported slavery, is racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-intellectual, anti-scientific and anti-Semitic, provokes war, resists progress, and is repressive and irrelevant. Hard-hitting, provocative, and personal, Heresy offers a powerful rebuttal to attacks on the Christian faith.
