Hudson Author Gets Good Reviews On New Book

Toxi Faith: Liberal Cure
A Reasoned and Judeo-Christian Response to the Alarming Assertions of the Religious Right
by Daniel C. Bruch and Thomas Strieter

“Compassionate, well-rounded and persuasive.” These are some of the choice words Buzzflash used in its review of Toxic Faith: Liberal Cure, written by Dr. Daniel C. Bruch and Dr. Thomas W. Strieter. One thing that impressed them is how stranded the book is in arguing against the Biblical squabbles of Fundamentalist Authoritarians making it practical and compelling in nature.Published July 2006, Toxic Faith: Liberal Cure takes a stand against the assertion that being liberal comes with immorality, using cautious and logical Judeo-Christian context response to controversial issues such as patriotism, war, abortion, homosexuality, poverty and the environment.
