Bedford, IN Author Publishes Book on Divisions Inside Christianity

Bumper Sticker Religion, a new book by Michael D. Arena, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

How can hundreds of religious organizations use the same Bible to support wildly different doctrines? Has God spread confusion among us, or are we just limited in our understanding? The answer is neither; those divergences came from our failure to recognize some basic concepts needed to properly understand what we read.

In a narrative that can be useful to a lay person, Bumper Sticker Religion shows how the scriptures are often misused or misunderstood. It also gives insight for a non-churched individual on what Christianity is about and how divisions arose. A quick and easy read, this book is perfect for a curious person who doesn't want to pursue a time-consuming deep study into the Christian religion.
