Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-10 00:00:00 Dino Eleftheropoulos I really enjoyed this work. It begins with a study of the individual Jesus as a simple carpenter and his passion for nature. His salt of the Earth ways are extracted from historical accounts and Biblical scripture. In the beginning we get to know this man through the eyes of a citizen of the first century. Eventually it builds up into the psychology of a man still bowed down to today. The author's style is respective and reverent. I believe he handles the subject with great sanctity. As I read through this, I am reminded of many moments I have experienced in Bible study with theologians who have knowledge far superior over what I, myself could possibly know. This book answers many questions on the history of the times, how the advancement of Christianity could take on such an unfathomable abundance at lightening speed, and it tackles the horrendous difference between Christianity and all other religions. I found myself wishing so many others could read it who insist that all religions are the same and there is nothing extraordinary about the man from Galilee. I was moved by the description of being immersed in Christianity and how this author acknowledges that a person can never understand the extraordinary beauty of it unless they find themselves within it.
