"Jesus Before Christianity," Albert Nolan
It is time to resurrect Him after 1800 years being Crucified, mutilated, buried by Constantine, and the cHURCH these last 1800 years. For Him? No. For YOU? No. He was the Einstein of Universal Family, Universal Love. There's been no Einstein like Him, before or since. This is one of the only books I know that can make You an agent of Saving Humanity - Averting Ecocide.
It's up to you.
From wiki -
Nolan became famous for his 1976 book, Jesus before Christianity, in which he presented an account of Jesus' radical involvement
in the struggle for full humanity in the context of first-century
Palestine: he "challenged the rich to identify in solidarity with the
poor, a spirituality of solidarity that resonated with white Catholics
seeking a new, progressive direction" (Egan 1999). The book was
translated into nine languages, and a 15th anniversary edition appeared
in the early 1990s.
Nolan published his second major work, God in South Africa in 1988. At one point during the writing process he 'went underground' to hide from the Security Forces during the State of Emergency in South Africa. God in South Africa
is a primary example of contextual theology: written as a theology for
that particular moment, without a claim to its possible relevance in
other times and places. In 2006, Nolan published his Jesus Today: A Spirituality of Radical Freedom (Orbis Books).
