The idea of salvation by faith is dangerous. It has convinced generations of Christians that, if they only had faith, things would get better and wrongs would be righted. Harry Cook proposes that "salvation" is a here-and-now initiative, a do-it-yourself project-what the New Testament calls the domain of God. Human beings, he says, have at hand the wherewithal to save themselves and their environment.
