L'invention du christianisme

L'invention du christianisme

By Roger Parmentier

Book Description

In a world seemingly turned upside down by violence, oppression, and religious hypocrisy, biblical scholar Roger Parmentier presents a provocative examination of Christianity's true essence. Drawing from his extensive work rewriting and updating fifteen foundational biblical texts, including the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and John, as well as Revelation and various Old Testament books, Parmentier challenges readers to reconsider what authentic Christianity actually represents.

This thought-provoking exploration suggests that when conventional attempts to improve our troubled world have failed, Jesus offered humanity a radically different approach to thinking and living. Rather than perpetuating the patterns that cause suffering and death, Parmentier argues that genuine Christian practice involves embracing the complete opposite of these destructive forces.

Through his scholarly yet accessible analysis, the author invites readers to move beyond surface-level religious understanding and discover a transformative way of being that directly counters the sources of human anguish. For those seeking spiritual authenticity in an age of religious confusion, this work offers a fresh perspective on how ancient wisdom might address contemporary challenges.

Parmentier's unique background in biblical reinterpretation brings both scholarly rigor and practical insight to this examination of Christianity's revolutionary potential for personal and social transformation.
