The teachings of Jesus Christ, as presented in the Bible, are familiar
to millions, but do we really understand them? Keith Ward argues that,
by scrutinising the Gospels through the lens of contemporary philosophy,
we can discover a profound teaching that is not always apparent in
traditional church teaching. Ward's analysis of what Jesus really said
uncovers four central themes: - that the Gospel is for everyone (but not
necessarily everyone will be saved); - that the Second Coming will lead
to a future in the spiritual realm, not a physical world; - that Jesus
presents a moral ideal for life rather than a literal set of rules; -
that God is expressed initially through the incarnation of Jesus, but
ultimately through the whole of creation.
