Religion: general; Christianity; Christian theology

For those people who grew up exposed to standard Christianity but came to reject it, this book will allow them to be a Christian again. For those people who reject association with standard Christianity's indifference to violence and social justice, this book will permit them to be a Christian again. With little understanding of the Judaic roots of the Jesus story, the hierarchy of standard Christianity constructed the ""sin and salvation"" narrative that most people are led to believe is the essence of Christianity. Reading the Gospel of John with Jewish eyes, Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong found a different Jesus story. Standard Christianity has consigned that story to the relative obscurity of ""scholarly theological debate."" In Love, Oneness, and Radical Inclusion, William Geimer resurrects that story and re-presents it to everyone in plain language. Jesus did not die for humanity's sins. He is not ""up there."" He is not coming back. Jesus showed humanity the way. The way to a new dimension of what it means to be human. Here and now. This Jesus story is one of a Way-Shower to a life of love, oneness, and radical inclusion.
