Burton L. Mack examines the historical trajectory of the Christian myth, tracing its origins from early social movements to its eventual institutionalization and subsequent decline in the modern era. By applying critical theory to the foundational narratives of the faith, the author argues that the traditional Christian worldview has become increasingly detached from the complexities of contemporary democratic, multicultural societies.
