Gospel of Inclusion Reaching Beyond Religious Fundamentalism to the True Love of God

'As Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenberg, these are my Theses, nailed to the door of today's religious culture.' Speak the name ?Carlton Pearson? and you will get one of two reactions: ?heretic? or ?prophet.' Pearson was a Christian mega-star, host of his own TV show, traveling in private jets to speak at evangelical Christian gatherings. His church, Higher Dimensions, drew 5,000 people every Sunday. He was Oral Roberts? beloved prot'g'. Then, Pearson watched everything he had built crumble due to scandal. He didn't have an affair. He didn't embezzle church funds. He stopped believing in Hell. Following a revelation, he began to preach that a loving God would not condemn most of the human race to burn in the fires of Hell for eternity. Shocked, the Pentecostal community made him an outcast. This book is the story of one man's turning his back on fifty-plus years of religious teachings and on a ?family? of millions to preach a new truth?The Gospel of Inclusion. In this book, Pearson shows that all of God's children are already saved by the sacrifice of Christ'gays, Muslims, Jews, atheists, everyone. Weaving theology, biblical scholarship and cultural history, Pearson asserts that the dogma of Hell is nothing more than a device to control the faithful, that authoritarian religion is at the heart of the world's troubles, that God is not a Christian, but indeed belongs to all humankind.Pearson, Carlton is the author of 'Gospel of Inclusion Reaching Beyond Religious Fundamentalism to the True Love of God', published 2007 under ISBN 9780979168901 and ISBN 0979168902.
