About the Book

Many, perhaps most, Christians and former Christians have rejected two central teachings of traditional Christian theology: (1) the doctrine of the Fall of mankind in the sin of Adam and Eve, the "original sin," and the consequent separation of humanity from God, and (2) the teaching that God required the bloody sacrifice of his only Son to atone for the "original sin" and repair this separation and breach. But once one rejects the Fall, and rejects the concept of a sacrifice in substitutionary atonement, there remains in traditional Christianity no coherent explanation for the mission of Jesus, no answer to the questions "Why did Jesus come?" and "What exactly did Jesus do?" So many Christians now have no understanding acceptable to themselves or to others which explains what Jesus did and how what he did is supposed to be effective. This is a major reason why there are so many former Christians and "cafeteria Christians" among us. There is thus a need for a new explanation of the mission of Jesus. I have developed a new explanation, and I have set it forth in The Second Half of Creation. The new explanation does not depend upon the story of the Fall of mankind. It does not hold that Jesus's death was a redeeming sacrifice; indeed, it asserts that Jesus died because of his unwavering opposition to the idea of sacrifice, the religions of sacrifice, and the cultures built upon such religions. To the best of my knowledge (and the knowledge of the thirty or forty people who have read the manuscript, including two members of the faculty of religious studies at a prominent Jesuit university), nothing resembling my new explanation presently exists in published form, either in the professionalor in the popular literature. Many writers have written of the severe deficiencies of the traditional Christian explanation of the mission of Jesus (set out most clearly by Anselm of Canterbury over 900 years ago), but none has proposed a coherent developed alterna
