From a Reform Jew

Dear Dr. Boyd,
 

I just finished your book “The Myth of a Christian Nation“. I have seldom been more moved by anything I have read or heard than your writing. I am a Reform Jew and while proud of my heritage, not particularly religious, but this is a primer for anyone, of any religion, or of no religion, who truly cares about other people and who would, if not going to do good, at least should do no harm.

I am writing to various friends, including two ministers and two rabbis to recommend the reading this book. It is a shame that some religious leaders have taken on the role of moral judge and jury and subverted the messages that you so carefully articulate.

Thank you for such a thoughtful, memorable and moving book.

Again….thank you
