Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. A simple introduction, taking each gospel at face value and trying to present an all round picture of Jesus. Strong on the idea that he showed us how to live and we should and can obey. Uses the notion of sacrifice for his death but avoids theology. One distinct emphasis is on the poetic nature of Jesus teachings, they were expressed vividly with lots of similes and metaphors. He had a gift fro memorable words that still resonates today after translation into our very different culture. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Is Jesus relevant to us today? Few figures have had such an influence on history as Jesus of Nazareth. His teachings have inspired discussion, arguments, even war. Yet few have ever held forth as movingly as Jesus on the need for peace, forgiveness, and mercy. Paul Johnson offers listeners a lively biography of the man who inspired one of the world's great religions and whose lessons still guide us in current times ... No library descriptions found. |

2. Personal Reaction - I thought this book was great! I loved how the author used history, facts and his personal relationship with the Lord to compose such an intelligent and easy to read book on Christianity and where it comes from and why (I) believe the way we do.
3. Extension Ideas -
1. I would use this book in a Christian based school setting such as Lawton Christian School, to promote a brief but accurate view point of how Jesus is such a good and faithful Creator.
2. I could use this book to give background to what the area around Jesus was like while he walked the earth.
