Description: Fourth-generation fundamentalist Carlton Pearson, a Christian megastar and host, takes a courageous and controversial stand on religion that proposes a hell-less Christianity and a gospel of inclusion that calls for an end to local and worldwide conflicts and divisions along religious lines.
The Gospel of Inclusion explores the exclusionary doctrines in mainstream religion and concludes that according to the evidence of the Bible and irrefutable logic, they cannot be true. Bishop Pearson argues that the controlling dogmas of religion are the source of much of the world's ills and that we should turn our backs on proselytizing and holy wars and focus on the real good news: that we are all bound for glory, everybody is saved, and if we believe God loves all mankind, then we have no choice but to have the same attitude ourselves.
The Gospel of Inclusion also tells the story of a powerful religious figure who watched everything he had crumble due to a scandal. Why? He didn't steal money nor did he have inappropriate sexual relationships. Following a revelation from God, he began to preach that a loving God would not condemn most of the human race to hell because they are not Christian. Hepreaches that God belongs to no religion. The Gospel of Inclusion is the journey of one man's quest to preach a new truth.
Details: I'm on my forth reading of this marvelous book and the truths it contains are just as mezmerising as the first time I read it. Brother Pearson articulates the greatest message ever told in an incredibly wonderful way. This is more than just another good book. This is the best book I have ever read. The message of this book has absolutely changed my life forever. I will never be the same again. Thank God for Carlton Pearson and this wonderful book.
Review Summary: Just heard Bishop Carlton Pearson on Blog Talk Radio - Cosmic Citizen
Date: 2008-10-25
Details: Today, 10/25/08, Bishop Carlton Pearson was on an online radio show called Cosmic Citizen, which can be found at Blog Talk Radio. The Cosmic Citizen is based on the The Urantia Book: Indexed Version with free Audio Book on DVD. It seems these two have a lot in common. Bishop Pearson sounds like a wonderful individual.
The Christian preacher faithfuls are afraid they'll lose their members if they start preaching that God loves all people, even non-Christians. They probably will, just like Bishop Pearson did. But just like Job in the Old Testament had everything taken away from him when God tested him, Job got it all back and more. You have to take a stand for God, not for the pocketbook. There are millions of spiritually hungry people out there waiting for a message like this.

Review Summary: Liberation Of The True Self
Date: 2008-10-07
Details: After years of searching and longing for a real connection with the creator reading the bishop's book brought it within my grasp. Not only has his revelation liberated him to a higher calling but it has given new meaning with my relationship with God. To truly appreciate the example and true spiritual freedom that Christ has given us you must read this book. No longer do I feel alienated by the doctrinal religion that limited my potential. I challenge you to put aside any presumptions and read the book for yourself. I am a better Christian, man, husband, father, brother and member of my community after reading this book!!!
Review Summary: A Theological Masterpiece
Date: 2008-09-12
Details: The Gospel of Inclusion is the must read for humanity. The words and wisdom in this book by Bishop Carlton Pearson I believe will spawn a new movement in theological inquisition. It bridges the gap between fundamentalism and universalism. Bravo Bishop Carlton Pearson!
