Christianity claims that a first century barefoot preacher was actually an incarnation of God, that he was resurrected after he was executed for insurrection, that he ascended to heaven and there intercedes with God the Father to forgive us our shortcomings and redeem us to eternal life. These are much more detailed and unusual claims than other religion makes and they render Christianity uniquely vulnerable to extinction as the findings of scientific inquiry bring its basic beliefs into question. In this book, Jake van der Kamp first imagines how the last priests of earlier religions extinguished by Christianity confronted their dismay at their fate. He then imagines how a last priest of Jesus Christ, a fundamentalist protestant minister, might experience it and how academic study in the future might explain it.
