What if we re-wrote Christian Dogma and Ritual

What is needed is a restatement of the religion found on the principles of Jesus of Nazareth and the deity of Jesus the Christ as invented by Saint Peter and Saint Paul in a more modern simpler, clear and concise manner.  Not a new religion, a New Theology to combine with a restatement so to speak.

Just a musing thought came to me recently.  What if someone or a group of people took the time to re-write Christian dogma and ritual to reflect the actual philosophy of the main three architects of what has become modern Christianity.  If you take the known teachings and philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth and his two main followers that became the foundation of the dogma and ritual - Paul and Peter.  Then, you can use this re-write as the tools to teach and guide and begin the rebirth of what appears to be a dying belief pattern and still use the main religious tome - The Bible as the guide for faith. 

Just a thought and musing.

Another thought to keep in mind. If someone under took this adventure of re-writing, every person has a religion of some type and if they have this type of a belief pattern they will have a theology.  However, keep in mind you can have a theology without a specific religion or belief, but you can not have a specific belief without a theology.   So that means your dogma and ritual would have to be generic enough it would be easily acceptable to any believer.

Again, just a further thought and musing.
