Jeremiah J. Johnston's Unimaginable Book Review

Jeremiah J. Johnston’s Unimaginable discusses what our world would be like without Christianity.  He discusses how Christianity has stood against the evils of slavery (more than once) racism and injustices toward women and children.

The book guides the reader through history to see how Jesus’s teachings has changed our world and continue to be the powerful force for good today.

Johnston organizes the book in three parts:

1. The World before Christianity

2. The World without Christianity

-->

3. The world with Christianity

-->

“No matter how many times you been hurt the Bible clearly says we must forgive (p. 63)" 

He explores questions such as: Is God Dying?   What really caused the church to expand and explain? Christians were accused of atheism, for they did not acknowledge the existence of the Greco-Roman gods and refused to worship the emperor as the Son of God.

-->

Throughout his book he talks about a variety of good and bad leaders throughout history. Leaders he discusses are: Ludwig Feuerbach, Charles Paruin, Karl Marx, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsethe, Sigmund Freud, Margaret Mead, Alfred Kinsey, Bertrand Russell, Jean-Paul Sartre, Hitler.

-->

What have I taken from this book? I learned a lot of evil leaders and people who have turned away from God is because of bad parents and parents scramming religious beliefs down their throat. For example, Richard Darwin was sent to Anglican Boarding School were he was molested. Johnston has a lot of interesting facts such as “Christians established the first universities. Hemergeal in Paris in the 1100s and into the 1800s (p.155).”

-->

“Two important subjects to God is faith and love. Love is a weapon that can shatter division and rebuild what has been broken (p.31).”

-->

Only in viewing God rightly we can see ourselves correctly and learn to love rather than hate those around us. Who are also beloved by a heavenly father (p. 196 para 5).

-->

I found Unimaginable very interesting.  I learned a lot about well known people and what they believed in throughout the centuries. One thing I found bothering to me is he paints Christians as perfect. If you don’t follow Him to the tea your sins won’t be erased. I put my heart and soul into God.
