Title: Christianity 2.0: How Amazing New Advances in the Religious Realm Can Ignite a Religious Revival
Author: John Dorsey
Genre: Religion
Christianity has been in existence for over two thousand years and is the world’s predominant religion. Despite its popularity, there are detractors who believe that Christianity must adapt to modern times. Christianity 2.0 offers a nuanced approach to attaining salvation and how Kinesiology plays a vital part in assessing a Christian’s path to salvation and higher consciousness. The nature of God is explored along with questions about the existence of God. The practice of muscle testing (Kinesiology) is utilized in answering these questions along with other significant inquiries. According to this book, the road to becoming a good Christian involves more than faith and worship, but living a life where spiritual growth is continuous.
John Dorsey challenges the established order in Christian doctrine while assessing its drawbacks. The inaugural chapter hints at the iconoclastic bent that runs throughout the manuscript: removing books from the bible that run contrary to Christianity. The books of the New Testament that showcase a loving God should be given preference over the vengeful God of the Old Testament. The arguments that support Dorsey’s positions are logical, if not occasionally ardent.
One of the key aspects of the book is the author’s personal growth while devoting himself to this newer variation of Christianity. Dorsey sought to be loved but possessed an intense fear of rejection. This fear led to a feeling of self-loathing that encompassed his entire being. Failure in career and love brought him to seek out help from outside sources. Counselors and seminars led him to books that opened up his mind and set him down the road to a religious awakening.
Dorsey’s journey to enlightenment did not happen overnight. Knowledge would not be the only goal. A deep self-exploration was warranted that would involve an emotional purging, where he would need to learn to release lingering pain from his past.
The ability to identify solutions is stressed by Dorsey when one is engaged in their quest. Despite successes along the path to enlightenment, there were moments when he’d become stuck. Frustration would quickly set in, but his spiritual advisors would spur him on in helping himself. Vision quests spurred by the use of iboga would also aid in providing clarity. The ability to love unconditionally would also prove vital in Dorsey’s spiritual rebirth.
Author John Dorsey is devoted to his beliefs. The bulk of the chapters provide insight into his newfound perspectives on Christianity. A few of his beliefs with respect to how to achieve the highest level of consciousness in Christianity may tend to resemble opinion rather than fact, which some readers might consider lofty. Ultimately, it is up to the reader in deciding that.
Christianity 2.0 takes an intriguing stance on how a religion can evolve while respecting many of its core tenets. Author John Dorsey writes from a position of love and concern for his fellow Christian, and that feeling is pervasive throughout the book. Christianity 2.0 is a book that far surpasses expectations in its take on religious philosophy.
