Beskrivning
How exactly does one explain Jesus? That is the central question of this book. But the taskof explaining Jesus is complicated. For many nonbelievers, skeptics, or practitioners of non-Jesus-based religions or spiritualities, it can be very strange to refer to a particular man wholived in the first century CE as someone who is still living. Even for some believers, this ideacan be a difficult thing to understand—even given the teachings of their faith. Thus, whetherbeliever or nonbeliever or somewhere in-between, for the intellectually curious, there is needfor an explanation. Explaining Jesus explores the possibilities of a secular, interdisciplinary, science-based explanation for the phenomenon of Jesus.

Recensioner i media

If for an answer we should turn to Jesus, what is the question? How to understand the emotional and spiritual meaning of a ‘personal relationship with Jesus’? In his interesting and well-developed book, Explaining Jesus, Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter addresses this topic, drawing on theology and the humanities as well as on behavioral and natural sciences. For those who understand themselves as standing in an intimate relationship with Jesus, reading this book will be a challenging—but not necessarily negative—exercise in self-understanding. For those who don’t see themselves, or Jesus, in that way, it is worth the effort to read it, to understand fellow humans in ways they might not have thought of before.
