Author Robert Harris joins the Spirited Book Club to discuss his book, ‘The Jesus Perspective: A Faith that May Surprise You’
In this thought-provoking book, Harris critically examines Christianity with the goal of finding out which of its elements are useful, essential, and in alignment with what Jesus actually taught and believed. The result is a fresh and vigorous interpretation of the faith.
BOOK OVERVIEW
How much of traditional Christian belief is actually compatible with what Jesus of Nazareth said and believed? “That’s what I wanted to discover,” says author Robert Harris. “And when I looked at how traditional beliefs originated, took hold, and developed, it became clear that much of it doesn’t align with Jesus’ ideas.”
In this thought-provoking book, Harris summarizes five years of research with the goal of finding not the faith about Jesus, but the faith of Jesus. And as he methodically strips away centuries of arcane theological arguments and philosophical speculations, a unique view of life emerges. “I call it the Jesus Perspective,” says the author. “It’s the simple and understandable way Jesus saw the Bible, God, incarnation, atonement, resurrection. Sadly, it tends to be overshadowed by doctrines and dogmas and creeds.”
The Jesus Perspective is not just for Christians, but for all who want to learn about faith that’s devoid of pointless theological complications. It’s for all who want to discover a proven method for maximizing their God-given potential.
