The Jesus Movement In The 21St Century: Recapturing And Following The Jesus Of History

Recapturing And Following The Jesus Of History - Fostering An Abundant Life! Following Jesus - "the Way to a Truth-filled Life." Why This Book? As a retired Episcopal Priest, Rev. Gerard A. Pisani, Jr. has been able to intensify his study of Religion and Science. He has found that Religion - imagination, inspiration and revelation - still has value. As he expressed it: "Science - observation, hypothesis and theory - provides the verity to one's knowledge and understanding. In maturing and growing older, and even now, I still am amazed how short sighted I have been by placing limitations on God's compassion, love and grace. The Jesus that I have come to know, stripping away the abundance of embellishments that have been "credited" to him, especially in the New Testament, I personally am now able to receive that love for myself. I do not say this to depreciate the value and importance of all scriptures from a variety of sources with which we have been gifted over many centuries. I am so grateful for the extensive educational opportunities given to me by my parents and for having grown up in a large and diverse family in northern New Jersey. However in my formative years, kindergarten through high school, I was in a community that was rather small and insular. The world, as it were, opened up more broadly with my additional educational opportunities in the Mid-West and within a number of larger organizations that became a part of my life experience. Meeting and working with a variety of people provides an eclectic and inclusive benefit to one's growth and development." This new knowledge has begun the renewal of the ministry of the Jesus of Galilee divulging what God's Realm should be like - The Jesus Movement in the 21st Century - Recapturing and Following the Jesus of History, Fostering an Abundant Life!
