From Booklist
Smith looks at Christian spirituality from the perspective of German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer's idea of "religionless Christianity" and attempts to see if the spiritual power of Christian faith can exist apart from participation in some form of organized religion. The author explores such specific questions as, Who or what does the Bible say God is? Is Jesus' God the same God as the God of the Jews of ancient Israel? What is Christianity? Can it be defined? Is there a common ground of essential Christian beliefs on which all Christians can agree? (Some Christians may object to the book's title; Smith quotes biblical references to Jesus' going to synagogues.) In answering these questions, Smith may alarm some fundamentalist Christians who unquestioningly accept such absolutes as the virgin birth, the physical resurrection of Jesus, life after death, and, for Catholics, the Immaculate Conception of Mary and papal infallibility.
