Kayumba David – Theologian, Diplomat, and Relentless Reader
Born in rural Uganda during political upheavals, Kayumba David learned early on that life was a mix of dodging both bullets and tough questions. Drawn to theology, particularly liberation theology, he became fascinated with how faith could challenge oppression. He quickly earned a reputation for asking deep questions—and writing essays in his textbooks' margins.
Seeking a "break," he dove into international relations and diplomacy, blending peacemaking with a passion for justice, while secretly wishing everyone would read more. An avid reader and social justice advocate, Kayumba now writes with humor and wisdom, drawing from a life rich in both books and battles for change.
This book takes a critical and, at times, humorous look at the ways Christianity has evolved and, in many cases, strayed from its original teachings. We explore the unlikely rise of a group of fishermen and tax collectors who managed to spread Jesus' message far beyond the borders of Judea—talk about a successful marketing campaign! We delve into the curious and often implausible doctrines that have developed over time and scrutinize the Church's relentless pursuit of wealth and power—because who doesn't love a little bling while preaching humility? Yet, amidst the sarcasm and critique, there is a recognition of the profound and positive impact Christianity has had on the world. Its influence on art, culture, and morality is undeniable. The sense of community and belonging it provides to millions cannot be overlooked. Despite its many flaws, the Church has also been a force for good, inspiring acts of charity, compassion, and social justice—like a superhero in a flowing robe, fighting for the greater good, even if sometimes it trips over its own cape.
