In God Laughs Plays; Duncan argues that the de facto political party embodied by the so-called "Christian Right" has turned worship into a self-righteous betrayal of the words and example of the very Jesus it claims to praise. In opposition; Duncan offers a thought-provoking collection of "churchless sermons;" stories; memoir; and conversations--all united by the contention that the way of life preached and embodied by Jesus is apolitical and should be free of media machinery. While reminding us that the true Christian ethos scorns riches and embraces the poor; blesses peacemakers; not war-makers; and asks us to love and serve neighbors and "do good" even unto enemies; Duncan also goes a step further: he offers a poignant and inspiring glimpse into a profound new cosmology that can help humanity manage the epochal challenges of a fast globalizing and ecologically challenged world.

The book is terrible! No editing; no attempt at scholarly research. Just terrible; so bad I threw the book in the trash. What a waste of money.
