Robin Meyers is ’n liberale teoloog.
Meyers glo dat die maagdelike geboorte, Jesus se wonderwerke, die opstanding, die wederkoms en die drie-eenheid alles latere byvoegings was deur goedbedoelende volgers van Jesus om sy plek in die geskiedenis te versterk.
Hy is ook ’n universalis. In Robin Meyers on the Christian Right (op Youtube) sê hy byvoorbeeld die volgende:
… second thing that makes religion goes bad when it becomes a closed circle … when religion forms a closed circle so that some people are in and other people are out. The purpose of religion is always to move like concentric circles, expanding and bringing more and more people inside the love of God and love of neighbour. And you can do that if you are a Jew or a Muslim or a Christian or a Hindu or a Buddhist. There are many different paths to God and I am not the one to sit here and say: “Only Christianity gets you to God.” I think in fact that is a form of idolatry. And if you read the Gospels I don’t think there is any indication that Jesus ever intended to establish a closed religion system where everyone had to a Christ-ian (Christian) to get to heaven.
Saving Jesus from the Church
Hy is die skrywer van die boek Saving Jesus from the Church.
Sy boek word bespreek in Oklahoma minister claims Jesus is not God (Youtube).
In die video sê hy die volgende:
We have got it all wrong when it comes to Jesus. He wants us to worship God. He does not want us to worship Him.
I think Jesus came to teach us things about God and the later community added a lot of material on top of that in terms of thing we were supposed to believe about Jesus.
… an extraordinary human. Someone who opened the heavens for us and revealed the God we have never met before and changed human history. That is why he is the messiah to me. Not because he is God. But because he so beautifully and radically introduced a new God to me.
Desmond Tutu het die volgende oor hierdie boek te sê gehad:
“Every once in a while, a book comes along that changes everything. This is the book. It is scholarly, pastoral, prophetic, and eloquent – all in equal measure. Robin Meyers has spoken truth to power, and the church he loves will never be the same.”
