Jesus Today :A Spirituality of Radical Freedom
From the bestselling author of JESUS BEFORE CHRISTIANITY
'Radical means reaching down to the roots. The freedom that Jesus experienced reached down to the very roots of his being. It was the freedom he challenged his followers to strive for, and it is the freedom that challenges us today as hover on the edge of chaos.'
In his classic work, Jesus Before Christianity, Albert Nolan stressed the political context of Jesus' mission and his concern for social justice and liberation. Now, thirty years later, Nolan's long-awaited sequel focuses on the spirituality of Jesus and its relevance for today. Beginning with a trenchant examination of the signs of the times (the hunger for spirituality, the crisis of individualism, ecological breakdown, the global divide between rich and poor, and a new understanding of our expanding universe), Nolan proceeds to describe the elements of Jesus' spirituality: a way of healing and radical freedom that combined prophecy and mysticism. Applying that spirituality to our daily lives, he shows how these lessons might promote a greater communion with God, with ourselves, with other human beings, and with the universe.
