Bible Expert Probes Difference Between Stories About Jesus and His Actual Teachings Devine Impact Corporation <http://www.glennkaweschconcepts.com/> Myths, Dreams and Theology in Early Christianity, a book by Fred Stitt, explores how early church leaders created stories to connect the life of Jesus with Old Testament prophesy and common myths of their times, often sacrificing important messages in the process.
What was Jesus' real message? According to author Fred Stitt in his provocative new book, many of the stories about Jesus, including those about the Holy Spirit and the virgin birth, are myths, overshadowing the important lessons Jesus really meant to impart. Many churches focus on these old stories and either ignore or de-emphasize the key messages of Jesus, which are found in the Lord's Prayer, the Sermon on the Mount, the parables, and Jesus' injunction to feed the hungry and visit the sick. In clear, concise prose, Stitt explains how the New Testament is really two separate books that have been interwoven, further muddying the understanding of Jesus' true purpose on earth. Stitt integrates the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with his own unique theories to discover the true meaning of the New Testament. Provocative and important, this book is sure to find a place in church and home libraries. Myths, Dreams and Theology in Early Christianity is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
