Laurence Freeman

Jesus the Teacher Within

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While many people have problems with the church - including most churchgoers - the person of Jesus is an indispensable force in the achievement of any authentic spirituality. The conflict between faith and experience is eased in the rediscovery of the essential unity and simplicity at the heart of Jesus' teachings. Embarking on this journey of rediscovery, this book takes as its starting point a question that Jesus himself asked his disciples, 'Who do you say I am?' For the many Christians who have never taken this question seriously, Laurence Freeman explores this question in the light of some of the big issues of religious understanding:the historical reality of Jesus, the experiential reading of the Scriptures, personal conversion,the inner journey. Laurence Freeman is a Benedictine monk who followed John Main osb as director of the World Community of Christian Meditation, a worldwide spiritual family united in the practice of daily prayer, with over 110,000 members in more than 100 countries. He is the author of Light Within and The Selfless Self
