About the book
It is a quite remarkable fact that within about twenty years of a criminal’s ignominious death on the gibbet of the cross, a group of strictly monotheistic Jews were proclaiming that this same man mediated God’s final forgiveness, and stood at the threshold of the new age. In him they experienced God’s presence. This short work is an attempt to explore the implications of this discovery and to reflect on how we might suitably experience the person of Christ today. It is in doing his work in the world that we find him. Our encounter with Christ can be no private experience. It is an encounter mediated by the tradition of the community of Christians, which, in turn, drives us on to bear witness to Christ in the world by challenging anything which diminishes what it means to be truly human.
