Lauren F. Winner examines the often-overlooked potential for harm within established Christian rituals, arguing that religious practices can inadvertently foster damage rather than spiritual growth. By analyzing the complexities of baptism, prayer, and the Eucharist, the author challenges the assumption that these traditions are inherently restorative, instead highlighting how they may shape wayward habits or reinforce sinful patterns within the lives of believers.
