The Surprising Horror Of The Christian Idea is a book written by Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner. It is a critical analysis of the Christian religion and its beliefs, with a focus on the darker aspects of Christianity. Bonner explores the idea that the Christian faith, while often seen as a source of comfort and hope, can also be a source of horror and fear.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of Christianity. Bonner discusses the concept of original sin, the doctrine of hell, the idea of divine judgment, and the role of suffering in Christian theology. She also explores the history of Christianity, including its persecution of non-believers and its role in the oppression of women.Throughout the book, Bonner argues that the Christian idea is often presented in a sanitized and idealized form, but that the reality is much darker and more frightening. She challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about Christianity and to question the assumptions that underlie the faith.Overall, The Surprising Horror Of The Christian Idea is a thought-provoking and challenging book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and philosophy of religion.
