The Original Teachings of Jesus:
A Guide to Building Better Relationships, Transforming Your Life, and Deepening Your Faith, is intended to help Christianity evolve toward embodying Jesus’ transformative spirit. It reintroduces his powerful teachings—based on the Bible and The Urantia Book—in a format that readers can easily relate to.
In her essay published today, Keene-Lund delves into how Jesus’s teachings, as presented in the New Testament, have impacted humanity and the modern issues that point to challenges in realizing the ideals he espoused.
But inspiring people to embrace a fresh perspective on Jesus’s teachings is no easy task, she writes. She takes the example of some of the comments she received on her Facebook post about the book and provides interesting and thoughtful responses to them.
