In modern America, however, it is vengeful, self-righteous Christians who are the most vocal. For the increasingly forgotten moderate Christian, there's a strong chance that evangelical fundamentalists will someday bang on the door, either literally or figuratively. How does one defend himself or herself, and his or her beliefs, from a fundamentalist firebrand? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdward M. Craig's \u003ci\u003eHow to Fight Off a Fundamentalist\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with rational, common-sense rebuttals to their irrational, sanctimonious arguments. Craig tackles hot-button issues like homosexuality, race, child abuse, war, and environmental degradation with keen insight and disarming humor. He has meticulously researched biblical texts, theology, and church history. He explores the surprising connections between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. From Manifest Destiny to the Catholic Church's pedophilia scandals to famous televangelist Joel Osteen's megamillions, Craig gives historical and real-life examples of fundamentalist hypocrisy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNon-Christians will appreciate that his book makes no assumptions about the reader's religious beliefs. Lay Christians will enjoy the amusing illustrations and the in-depth comparisons of the fundamentalist fervency of various Christian denominations on his \"Sanctimometer.\" Even clergymen might learn a thing or two from his dissection of the Bible's contradictions and historical inaccuracies. \u003ci\u003eHow to Fight Off a Fundamentalist\u003c\/i\u003e provides thinking Christians and non-Christians alike a much-needed arsenal against self-righteous ignorance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward M.
