Reader Reviews
If you are tired of an excessively emotional approach to religion that asks you to turn off your mind, you will find this book to be a refreshing alternative. The author guides the reader in applying clear reasoning techniques in thinking about a myriad of issues regarding Jesus in historic and religious contexts. If taken seriously, this process should enable the reader to become an active participant in an original and legitimate process of critical interpretation rather than being a passive receiver of the culture's religious messages and mandates. These experiences will assist the reader in developing a more meaningful, authentic, and richer relationship to these traditional materials. Highly recommended.
