Theology for beginners

5.0 (1)

A couple of years ago I visited a town where I was to lecture. A young woman told me she was coming to my lecture, and then asked what it was to be about. I said “The Blessed Trinity.” She said “Oh,” and then after a distinct pause “Ah well.” In other words, if her Bishop wanted her to listen to a lecture on the Blessed Trinity, she would listen to it: she hoped, doubtless, that she would do even harder things if her Bishop called for them.

What difference does Jesus make?

0.0 (0)

The author has studied the Jesus of the Gospels to see what light he can bring to our present religious, moral, social and political confusions. His concern is with the Christ who has changed men's lives for nineteen centuries, not the Christ of the statues and the hymns, not the Christ of the theologians, not the Christ that's left when the Scripture scholars have put away their knives, but the Christ of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the carpenter of Nazareth, "the fruit of David's loins". Once he is known, vast light can be got from the scholars; the reader who does not know the Gospel Jesus is at their mercy.
