Synopsis

The Gospel of Inclusion explores the exclusionary doctrines in mainstream religion and concludes that according to the evidence of the Bible and irrefutable logic, they cannot be true. He argues that the controlling dogmas of religion are the source of much of the world’s ills, and that listeners should turn their backs on proselytizing and holy wars and focus on the real good news: that everyone is bound for glory, everybody is saved, and if listeners believe God loves and plans to save all mankind, then they have no choice but to have the same attitude themselves.

This also begins to tell the story of a powerful religious figure who watched everything he had built crumble due to a scandal. He didn’t have an affair. He didn’t embezzle church funds. He stopped believing in Hell. Following a revelation, he began to preach that a loving God would not condemn most of the human race to burn in the fires of Hell for eternity. Shocked, the Pentecostal community made him an outcast. He lost his good name, his church and his livelihood, for a time. But, he has gained a new following and friends across lines of religion, ethnicity and nationality.
