How much of traditional Christian belief is actually compatible with what Jesus of Nazareth said and believed? “That’s what I wanted to discover,” says author Robert Harris. “And when I looked at how traditional beliefs originated, took hold, and developed, it became clear that much of it doesn’t align with Jesus’ ideas.”In this thought-provoking book, Harris summarizes five years of research with the goal of finding not the faith about Jesus, but the faith of Jesus. And as he methodically strips away centuries of arcane theological arguments and philosophical speculations, a unique view of life emerges. “I call it the Jesus Perspective,” says the author. “It’s the simple and understandable way Jesus saw the Bible, God, incarnation, atonement, resurrection. Sadly, it tends to be overshadowed by doctrines and dogmas and creeds.”The Jesus Perspective is not just for Christians, but for all who want to learn about faith that’s devoid of pointless theological complications. It’s for all who want to discover a proven method for maximizing their God-given potential.*****Robert Harris is the author of more than 40 books in a variety of genres, including inspiration, humor, and self-help. His works include 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die, Move Ahead with Sudden Forgiveness, and the Claude Monet, Private Eye mysteries, all of which are available at amazon.com.

Great perspective on things we have been taught as Christians. Different views well worth considering. Helped with my doubts. I recommend taking the time to read this book
