The End of Religion

"...the primary mission of Jesus was to tear down religion as the foundation for people's connection with God and replace it with himself - the Divine coming to us in our context and our form. This is what Jesus called 'the Kingdom of God.' It is God and his people, living together the way he originally intended." (Bruxy Cavey, The End of Religion, 23).

the above quote is Bruxy Cavey's thesis in his book The End of Religion: Encountering the Subversive Spirituality of Jesus. this book is an awesome read. if you read it, you will not be the same when you're done. i could go on and on about how great this book is. i could go on and on about how much it has sharpened my thinking. i could go on and on about how Cavey has shown me new things among passages i have read a dozen times. but i won't. read this book and you'll see what i mean.
