Christian Faith, Ecumenism, Sects & Cults

This book has a very specific origin. It arose from my reflections on the work of Raymond Franz. It arose from a day of questioning the meaning of belonging to any denomination and not realizing the relativity of their own faith. Writing has to do with my own condition as a believer. It has to do with the humility of faith. It is a work that is written without being against anyone. On the contrary, it is part of a comprehensive intent. It calls for more faith and less fanaticism. It calls for people to abandon the stones in their hands. The very question of the book's origin has to do with the perception of how difficult it is to understand one's own positions. Therefore, Franz's work serves as a starting point to visit the theme of sects and cults in contrast to the ideals of ecumenism.
The subtitle highlights that people systematically miss the mark. Not only in sects. Faith itself can insist on missing the mark since it can be content to be static and disregard the fundamental reasons for its existence. The faith one has is not meant to be displayed; it is meant to be lived out in embrace, understanding, and humanity. The book is about that.
