Description

For Lloyd Geering the answer is yes, but not in the most obvious way. In this book he traces the broad sweep of christianity's evolution over the centuries, diversifying as it went and producing the increasingly global and secular culture of today's world. Central to his argument is the rediscovery of Jesus as a Jewish sage, long obscured under the mantle of the divine Christ figure. Professor Geering teases out the implications of the radical Christian notion that God became human, and shows how core values of the Christian Way are being expressed in the human concerns of the secular world.
