Product Description
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.
Customer Reviews
This is an excellent resource with untold depths. I can tell when reading the book that Laurence Freeman is a long-term meditator and that his words come from the depths of his experience. I am glad that Freeman has thoroughly wrestled with the person of Jesus. I too have found Jesus the fulcrum of my faith journey. And Freeman is correct that when it comes to inquiry into the mystery of Jesus, the depth of our spirit and the quality of our questions are as important or more important than the so-called answers. The person of Jesus reflects our own deepest journey beyond ego into a larger participatory reality rooted in love. Highly recommended!-Amos Smith (author of Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity's Mystic Roots)
