Big Jesus (eBook, ePUB)

A Pastor's Struggle with Christology

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This may be the most honest book ever written about Jesus. As a veteran pastor in the United Church of Christ, Dr. Watson shares his thoughts on the timeless topic of Christology--the doctrine of Christ--with new and creative insights, informative and accessible theology, personal anecdotes, and lively wit. Nothing is off-limits in this no-holds-barred contribution to the Jesus genre. Big Jesus is not another theological "spin" on the identity and nature of Jesus of Nazareth, nor is it a sentimental fairytale for those who prefer their Christology to be served up on Sunday mornings with fluffy sheep, little children, and footprints in the sand. This book is for Christian adults with a sense of humor.

Autorenporträt

Jimmy R. Watson writes books that are insightful, personal, unconventional, accessible, and at times humorous. A native West Texas, his writings are best read on the back porch with a favorite beverage in hand and the sprinkler running or on the tailgate of a pickup next to a creek and an un-baited fishing pole. His works explore theology, biblical interpretation and application, and ethics, or whatever he's thinking about at the moment. Watson is the pastor at Weimar United Church of Christ in Weimar, Texas. He has led congregations in Texas, Missouri, Indiana, and Kentucky. He has a PhD in Theology and Ethics from Baylor University (1996). His life partner is Annie, a priest in the Roman Catholic Women's Priest movement. Together they have five children and five grandchildren that are spread hither and yon with no discernible migration pattern.
