Whether you are a believer or not, these carefully selected readings have something to say to you. Topic by topic they cover what Jesus taught, from what he meant by the Kingdom of God to his challenging teaching on money and adultery; his condemnation of the religious establishment to his overriding stress on forgiveness and reconciliation, combined with a genuine openness towards the excluded and powerless. These mostly short key texts demonstrate why Jesus Christ is considered a unique moral teacher with a distinctive voice and style. Whatever you finally decide about Jesus Christ, you will find considering his identity, and teaching at source brings spiritual enrichment. "Should be helpful to catechumens and church groups hoping to experience Jesus without the fog of received dogma or denominational tradition."--Library Journal, Nov. 15, 2013
