Have discussions with Evangelical Christians left you feeling trapped in a maze of warped reasoning? Have you wondered if they have lost their minds? In "Hooks and Ladders," author and ex-Evangelical Christian Billy Wheaton provides keen insights into Evangelical Christians who operate under a different set of rules than the rest of the world with their own language and cultural norms. In this unique approach, Wheaton systematically explains how Evangelicals base their sacred doctrines on the ideas of the Apostle Paul, how Paul's reasoning contains characteristics of paranoid schizophrenia, and how the combination creates problems for Evangelicals. Wheaton further discusses how Evangelical autistic and schizophrenic reasoning leaves Evangelicals with irreparable beliefs and a community that cannot function well.
Well-researched and well documented, "Hooks and Ladders" will help non-Evangelicals understand how Evangelical Christians think. It is a step-by-step journey through American Evangelical Christian culture that explains how believers have become trapped playing a game of Hooks and Ladders and why they cannot easily quit playing.
