DAN'S CORNER
Religion Dispatches interviews Dan Maguire on his new books Dan Maguire on his new book.
Dan
Maguire Publishes Argues
that Christianity does not require its supernatural aspects. Christianity without an omnipotent god, without a divine savior, without an afterlife? In this bold and hopeful book, theologian Daniel C. Maguire writes that traditional, supernatural aspects of Christianity can be comforting, but are increasingly questionable. A century of scholarly research has not been supportive of the dogmatic triad of personal god, incarnate savior, and life after death. Demonstrating that these beliefs have questionable roots in historical traditions, Maguire argues for a return to that brilliant and revolutionary moral epic of the Hebrew and Christian Bible. Rescued from god, Christianity can offer a realistic global ethic to heal a planet sinking under the effects of our ungrateful mismanagement. “Once again Dan Maguire’s new book is at the cutting edge. Passionate, yet crystal clear, Christianity without God distills the essential Christian message from the mythological and theological accretions that have distorted it. It’s a message we need today, more than ever.” — David R. Loy, author of Awareness Bound and Unbound: Buddhist Essays “For many of us, Maguire’s book will be a kind of homecoming. Someone, at last, has had the courage to write what so many of us have been thinking.” — John C. Raines, author of The Justice Men Owe Women: Positive Resources from World Religions “With immense learning and considerable charm, Daniel Maguire evokes a Christianity freed from dogma, literalism, self-righteousness, and terror. Believers and skeptics alike can delight in what’s left: poetry, morality, a sense of awe and wonder. In a word, humanity.” — Katha Pollitt, author of The Mind-Body Problem: Poems Order Gaza's

thoroughly funny memoir proves that life’s tragedies and challenges
should never defeat our sense of humor. Whether it is in a happy

Thomas, or a grim tete-a-tete with Pope Benedict XVI, Maguire finds
the fun in life and shares it with us in these hilarious pages.

PALESTINE:
Death of a Nation " Everytime
anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I
can't help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the
Middle East." By Daniel C. Maguire Israel
is the child of Zionism. Define Zionism and you have defined the
moral underpinnings of Israel. There have been tortured back and
forth debates about whether Zionism is racist: of course it is.
At its core, Zionism is an imperial form of ethnic cleansing. Its
moral heart is empire; its strategy is ethnic cleansing, the extirpation
of one ethnic group to make room for Jews or those who tenuously
claim to be Jews. Zionism is an ongoing process.
