Description

The book unites human history into a cognitively available history, rationally accessible & sharing the same value for religious & non-religious alike. Jewish history is revealed as HUMAN HISTORY & OUR NATURAL MORAL PROGRESSION. Offering a universal value system that EVERY family employs to some degree, Jesus merely challenges us to our full humanity... a humanity ONLY revealed in our engagement of one another. Hence, at at time when EVERY reason for disunity & apathy & anger are warranted, Jesus offers respite, in a new understanding of opportunity & moral obligation, to be human. Realized in healthy, morally significant interpersonal relationships. Where it all started... & where it all must end.

Author Bio

Formerly a member of Korean religious leader Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, married in a 30,000 member ceremony, he now resides in the heart of the nation. His religious journey led him to his unique posture today, as both an ardent defender of BOTH Jesus & Moon, AS AN ATHEIST, but also defending a rational engagement & understanding of God. This gleaned from a novel approach in researching his religious roots, linked to Jesus. In time, though his religious association accepts the idea of 'continuing revelation', a pattern unnoticed before in Jewish history led to his finding a less than enthusiastic audience in his religious associations, because HE was the source of new insights relevant to the message of BOTH Moon & Jesus. Today, this manuscript is his Declaration of Independence on the one hand & his ardent & rational defense of Jesus (& Moon in that tradition) both to theist, BUT ALSO TO A LARGER GLOBAL, NON-THEISTIC & NON-RELIGIOUS DESERVING AUDIENCE. Sporting no educational credentials but the effort of four years of prayerful study, this manuscript will one day be recognized as being as revolutionary as Martin Luther's 95 Thesis. As one theologian noted, it will turn Christianity upside down... but restoring it in the process.
