The book delves into the church's historical journey, highlighting its loss of awe over the gospel's message of salvation. Robert Farrar Capon critiques how Christianity has shifted focus from the Good News to a system of rules, transforming the church from a community of believers into a corporate institution. Through a blend of humor and insight, he examines the church's missteps and offers a hopeful vision for its future, emphasizing the need to reclaim the original sense of astonishment that fueled its beginnings.
