More about the book
Exploring the tension between holiness and mercy, this book delves into how the church often succumbs to the allure of purity, leading to social exclusion and a disconnect from moral engagement. It highlights the psychological pitfalls, such as "The Macbeth Effect," where ritual cleansing is mistaken for genuine action. Through a blend of psychological science and theological insight, the author reveals the damaging consequences of purity-focused practices on self-image, community dynamics, and the overall mission of the church.
