"Even if we don't believe
that Jesus was the son of God, we tend to think he was a great moral teacher.
But was he? And how closely do idealised values such as our love of the family,
helping the needy, and the importance of kindness, match Jesus's original
tenets? Drawing on his new book, Julian challenges our assumptions about
Christian values - and about Jesus - by focusing on Jesus's teachings in the
Gospels, stripping away the religious elements such as the accounts of miracles
or the resurrection of Christ, and asking how we should understand
Jesus's attitude to the renunciation of the self, to politics, or to sexuality,
as expressed in Jesus's often elusive words."
Here's a link to buy Julian's book, which supports both Julian and independent bookshops.
