Synopsis

Who is Jesus? - a marginal Jew?, a Mediterranean Jewish peasant?, a liberator and healer? In this study, Laurence Freeman asserts that the question of who Jesus is can illuminate some of the deepest questions of meaning and identity. He aims to show readers that the only way to "see" Jesus is by becoming spiritually self-aware.

Présentation de l'éditeur

While many people have problems with the church - including most churchgoers - the person of Jesus is an indispensable force in the achievement of any authentic spirituality. The conflict between faith and experience is eased in the rediscovery of the essential unity and simplicity at the heart of Jesus' teachings. Embarking on this journey of rediscovery, this book takes as its starting point a question that Jesus himself asked his disciples, 'Who do you say I am?' For the many Christians who have never taken this question seriously, Laurence Freeman explores this question in the light of some of the big issues of religious understanding:the historical reality of Jesus, the experiential reading of the Scriptures, personal conversion,the inner journey.
