Reseña del libro "Transitioning To New Life - Now And Beyond (en Inglés)"
After extensive reading and study of the scriptures as shared in modern scholarship of recent years, I became aware of their dating, authorship, reasons why they were written, along with many other varied cultures in which they were constructed. This all made me aware of the cultural, political, religious and language difference that, when we read the Bible, we are not always aware of how different those times were from ours today. The Gospel, the good news, came alive anew as I grasped their faith, struggling and comparing it with our faith and struggles today. The Reason for This Book: In this 21st century, I felt the need to express my continuing experience of Jesus the Christ, for myself and others, through our modern understanding of words and the verity of today's knowledge and understanding utilizing verifiable facts. This resulted in the presentation of 14 chapters called Transitioning to New Life - Now and Beyond with the hope that we can translate the faith and enthusiasm of those who follow Jesus in our lives today. I saw in the stories of Jesus and his understanding of the Good News to be: transformation not conversion, compassion not control, behavior not beliefs; this was his teaching and practice in word and deed. Even in his earth centric world Jesus seemed to understand a larger view of all life, animate and inanimate, that change, diversity, and equality were essential parts of the Creative Presence he knew and experienced daily.
