Gospel Notes and Much More (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

'Gospel Notes and More for the Twenty-first Century' examines the contents of the Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John, the Acts of the Apostles, the Letters of Paul and other apostles, from the perspective of someone born in the scientific, technological, and multi-cultural world of the twenty-first century. The 'Notes' identify key questions asked by historians who are disinclined to accept explanations that are none-scientific in character. The 'Notes' focus on the real Jesus: the teacher, healer, and charismatic philosopher who lived in Palestine, 2000 years ago, and his core teaching: about existence, personal values, and how one should live with others, including different tribes, and other faiths. This book is useful for anyone preparing a talk on the life and teaching of Jesus, as all the 'Notes' are linked to specific passages in the New Testament, and permit the development of radically different approaches to the those adopted by the author of 'Gospel Notes and More'. The 'Notes' also permit someone with little knowledge of Christianity to identify easily many of the complex issues associated with Christian doctrines. Each section in the 'Notes' is designed as an 'invitation' to the reader to think about what the Bible teaches, and develop wider debate. No 'preaching' is intended.
