Mack shows that religions are essentially mythological, and that Christianity has been an ever-changing mythological engine of social formation, from Roman times to its distinct American expression in our time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBurton Mack explores cultural influence of the Christian myth over the last sixteen hundred years and asks whether religion has anything left to say about the social and cultural issues of the present state of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe stand at a critical impasse, badly splintered by conflicting groups pursuing their own social interests. A binding common myth needs to be established by renewing a truly cohesive national and international story rooted in our democratic and egalitarian origins, committed to freedom, equality, and vital human values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506482132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320","brand":"Burton L.
