Product Description:
Probing disturbing questions that beg for a response from the Christian community, distinguished scholar of religion and popular writer David Ray Griffin provides a hard-hitting analysis of the official accounts of the events of September 11, 2001. A tireless investigator, Griffin has sorted through enormous amounts of government and independent data and brought to the surface some very unsettling inconsistencies about what really happened. In this, his latest book, he analyzes the evidence about 9/11 and then explores a distinctively Christian perspective on these issues, taking seriously what we know about Jesus’ life, death, and teachings. Drawing a parallel between the Roman Empire of antiquity and the American Empire of today, he applies Jesus’ teachings to the current political administration, and he explores how Christian churches, as a community intending to be an incarnation of the divine, can and should respond.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Missed the mark.
I think the concept for this book is excellent. Those of the Christian faith have an obligation to look at both sides of the 9/11 issue, and they should be asking the questions that beg for valid answers on this topic.
Unfortunately much like our present day corporate owned media,Christians remain mum about much of the discrepancies in the official line of what happened before and during this catastrophe. The complacent silence of Christians during these frightening times will be a dark blot ... Read More
Rating: - Ignorance is bliss, but will it get you into Heaven?
The first part of this book was very well-done and the author does an excellent job approaching the topic, to break down the barriers the average American would have to believing that our government would do such a thing. Are Americans hiding their faces from the ugly facts when their duty as citizens in a democratic nation is to act on behalf of these human tragedies that we are benefitting from?
My issue and reason for the 3-star review is the second part of the book. He, by his review ... Read More
Rating:  - "Thinking the Unthinkable" with contemporary theology.
Review of Christian Faith and the Truth behind 911 by David Ray Griffin.
About 1/3 of the book is a recap of evidence that the World Trade Center buildings could not have collapsed from the airplane impacts and fires but must have been a "controlled demolition" and therefore an inside job.
About 1/3 is history of "false flag operations" that are standard military practice to gain civilian support of their warmaking, ordered from the top down and carried out by the equivalent ... Read More
Rating: - A book every Christian should look at
Dr. David Ray Griffin speak specifically to the audience he knows best - individuals of the Christian faith.
The theologian presents the shocking evidence about the 9/11 attacks that do not seem to fit with the official story reported by the U.S. government. Griffin then emphasizes the importance of the tragedies of 9/11, and how the Christians of the world should be the ones that address this issue that is playing a major role in our society.
Griffin is not just putting the ... Read More
Rating: - The Depths of a "Deeply Perverted Value System"
I bought this book because I was dominantly interested in the tenth chapter ("A Call to Reflection and Action"). I think it is an outstanding follow-on to Dr. Griffin's prior books ("The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Missions and Distortions"). The three (as well his fourth on debunking the debunkers) are superbly researched, meticulously footnoted, well-argued, and ought to be required reading for every Congressional representative ...
