The Real Jesus Myth
A (fairly) Orthodox Look at the Christian Faith
Description:... The Real Jesus Myth is what happens when a retired (but still
cynical) journalist, who is also a retired (but still cynical) Anglican
priest, decides to answer some of the questions tossed at him about the
Christian Faith. Many people don’t know enough about the nuts and bolts
of Christian belief – “doctrine” to use an unpopular word. This isn’t
their fault: most mainline churches put “social justice” issues front
and centre while doctrine, evangelism and apologetics gather dust in therear pews. This may be one reason so many mainline churches are
scrambling to stay afloat and, if so, why it’s long past time to
re-emphasize the fundamentals of the Faith. The Real Jesus Myth is a
(fairly) orthodox look at the Christian Faith centered around the
Nicene Creed and bookended by comments on everything from why the bible
is God’s word to why orthodoxy isn’t as scary as you may think. It is
written both for Christians and for the curious non-Christian but one
caution – the author is an ex columnist and police reporter, not a
theologian, so don’t expect this to read like a textbook.
