Información del libro
THE TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY JESUSHow can a fourth-century theology be relevant today? Is the Bible meant to be taken literally? Can Jesus be stripped of some of his titles? These are just a few of the questions that the author, a progressive Christian Episcopal clergyperson, answers in this provocative book. Cramming for the Finals offers fresh ideas on how to look at God/Creator, Jesus the human, Paul, Mary (wife of Jesus), the Bible, dogma, and doctrine in today's world. As the author takes you through his fascinating life's journey, especially his faith one, he reveals the tremendous power that the man Jesus, who was executed almost two thousand years ago, still can have on individuals and the world today. Inside, you'll discover- New ways to look at ancient ideas- Why we need to promote God and demote Jesus- How four thousand-year-old ideas can work now- Ways to think outside the institutional church's tight little box- How to save the church from itself
