Stanley A. Fry, pastor and scholar, has thoroughly documented his own search for the historical Jesus. His search, however, takes a new twist, one that requires him to set forth a highly personal vision of how Jesus can become real, not in history, but in today's ever-changing world.
- Why have we so long ignored the first twenty years of the Jesus movement?
- Why has the church been built upon the stories of the death and resurrection of Jesus instead of upon his teachings?
- Why has the search for the historical Jesus produced so little solid information?
- Is there any historical justification for belief in the "real" Jesus?
- Is there a spiritual foundation for commitment to the "real" Jesus?
- Where can the "real" Jesus be found?
- What impact will this view of Jesus have on the Christian faith and the church?
The bottom line is that Fry has produced an original and cogent case for a new vision of Jesus, the "real" Jesus who can shine a bright light on your future.
