Synopsis "The Jesus Perspective: A Faith that May Surprise You"

In The Jesus Perspective, Robert Harris critically examines Christianity with the goal of determining which of its elements are useful, essential, and in alignment with what Jesus actually taught and believed. The result is a fresh and vigorous interpretation of the faith. At its core is the idea that the elements of the Christian faith are best seen not as events that we merely acknowledge, but as processes in which we actively participate. Thus the focus shifts to action, responsibility, and continual growth. This is the challenging path that Jesus said "leads to life." In the book, Harris summarizes extensive research into the Bible, incarnation, atonement, trinity, and resurrection. Readers might be surprised, as the author was, to find out that the faith of Jesus is often quite different from the faith about Jesus. The Jesus Perspective is not just for Christians, but for anyone who wants to discover authentic Christianity, devoid of pointless theological complications, and think more critically and intelligently about matters of faith.***Robert Harris is the author of more than 40 books in a variety of genres, including inspiration, humor, and self-improvement. His works include 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die, Move Ahead with Sudden Forgiveness, and the Claude Monet, Private Eye mysteries, all of which are available at amazon.com. He can be reached via his website, artspace5.com.

Author and journalist, Robert Harris studied English Literature at Selwyn College, Cambridge, where he stood out for his activism and his work as the editor of the university newspaper, a prelude to his later career in well-known media such as The Observer or the Sunday Times, as well as for the BBC, where he presented current affairs programs Panorama and Newsnight

In literature, Harris made a name for himself as an essayist, publishing several books of investigative journalism, until in 1992 he achieved worldwide success with Fatherland, a uchronia where Nazi Germany wins World War II. From that moment, he dedicated himself almost exclusively to writing historical novels, with novels like Enigma, Stalin's Son, Pompeii, Imperium, or Conspiracy

Fatherland, Enigma, The Ghost Writer, and Stalin's Son were successfully adapted into film and television
