Mehr zum Buch

This examination presents a living master, a guru and role model, highlighting the impact of his example on those who aspire to follow. It delves into the universal spiritual practices Jesus promoted, exploring the reconciliation of inner and outer realities, the embrace of sexuality as part of spirituality, and the discovery of the divinity within everyone. Through various accounts of Jesus' life and teachings from both Eastern and Western perspectives, the text portrays him as a self-portrait of the imago dei, reflecting the essence of all spiritual masters and the true nature of humanity. The author's credibility is bolstered by his extensive study under a Hindu guru and his sixteen years as an Episcopal priest, dedicated to integrating teachings from both traditions. This exploration has garnered praise from notable figures like Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong, who emphasizes the enduring popularity of Jesus in a post-Christian era. The author invites readers to see Jesus beyond orthodox confines, engaging in dialogue with Gnostic Christians and Eastern thinkers, presenting a fresh, provocative, and welcoming portrayal that may illuminate a path to a believing future.
