In this thought-provoking book, Robert Harris critically examines traditional 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. At its core is the idea that the elements of the Christian faith are best seen not as events that we merely acknowledge, but as
processes in which we actively participate. Thus the focus shifts to action, responsibility, and continual growth. This is the challenging path that Jesus said “leads to life.”
In the book, Harris summarizes—with minimal theological jargon—extensive research into the Bible, incarnation, atonement, trinity, and resurrection. Readers may be surprised, as the author was, to find out that the faith
of Jesus is often quite different from the faith
about Jesus.
