SUMMARY:Book Discussion - Jesus 2.1
DESCRIPTION:Book by Thomas W. Shepherd\, D. Min.\nFacilitated by Vera Holly
 \n&nbsp\;\n\n\nEvery generation throughout history has rethought\, reshape
 d and reinvented Jesus to meet the needs of the times. This successive rem
 aking of Jesus\, Dr. Thomas Shepherd asserts\, is a sign of a healthy\, po
 sitive course of intellectual and spiritual growth critical to understandi
 ng Christian-based faith.\n\nIn his sharply witty style\, and founded on a
  decade of research\, Dr. Tom takes a solid whack at more than a few human
  concepts of Jesus handed down through history in an attempt to topple cul
 turally biased\, often bigoted\, images of the man behind the myth.&nbsp\;
 \n\nRecognizing Jesus as an important meeting place for a discussion about
  values\, and with evident love and respect\, Dr. Tom affirms that it's ti
 me for our generation to reshape Jesus into a more interactive version. To
  put it in today's technological terms\, the Jesus 2.1 upgrade will reinst
 all the Jesus Christ operating system\, quarantine remnants of culturally 
 induced viruses\, and install a revised&nbsp\;imago Dei\, which will make 
 it easier to toggle the image of God in the consciousness of all human bei
 ngs.\n\n\n&nbsp\;\nAll are welcome.\nLove Offering gratefully accepted
