Robert M. Price, a former Evangelical Christian, examines the confusing intersection of Christianity and superstition by asking questions. Is ?practicing the presence of God? actually a variety of paranoia? Is having a ?personal relationship with Jesus Christ? really akin to a child playing with an imaginary friend? At what point does a religious belief become an obsessive neurosis? Price finds that the source of superstition in Christianity is the objectification of the transcendent. As a result, he argues, many of the most destructive superstitions within Christianity are inessential accretions to the faith, interfering with life-transforming piety to the glad benefit of many of Christianity''s adherents. Christians who believe that an unexamined faith is not worth having will profit from struggling with Jesus Christ Superstition.
