About this title

Synopsis

I wrote this Story to give people an unusual glimpse of the person Jesus. Much has been written about him, but, it seems to me, most views of Jesus, including the "historical Jesus" are through a prism of Creedal concepts (divinity/atonement) which obscure the person behind them. I have tried to give a picture of the life of Jesus without that theological emphasis. Of course his life and ministry are full of religious meaning, but I have made the story "neutral" enough to make the person, Jesus, central. Once having encountered the life of this person, I expect each reader will add such interpretation, Creed, and theology as his/her faith calls for. I believe it will be richer for having encountered the "one like a person" or the "Son of Man" as he chose to call himself
