9780970227805: Jesus and the religions of man

Inhaltsangabe

Who is Jesus? Prophet? Sage? Enlightened Being who showed the path to unity with God and freedom from the bonds of karma? A country preacher who taught men how to treat women with respect? A figment of Galilean mythmakers' pious imaginations? Or Savior of all humankind?

How should we understand the teachers who compete with, yet strangely echo, the words of Jesus: Lao Zi, Gandhi, Marx, or Confucius? What is the difference between Jesus changing water into wine and Buddha turning coals into bouquets of flowers? Can either be justified intellectually?

Enlightening, disturbing, engagingly written, and full of surprises, Jesus and the Religions of Man lays out a remarkable challenge to skeptics of all faiths. In the tradition of Augustine's City of God, the author knits together a complex mosaic of spiritual threads, from Indian, Chinese, and Arabic Scriptures, tribal traditions, modern psychology, and revolutionary ideals to reveal a single face, showing how the deepest truths of humanity converge in the life of Christ.
