Stanley A. Fry, pastor and scholar, has thoroughly documented his own search for the historical Jesus. His search, however, takes a new twist, one that requires him to set forth a highly personal vision of how Jesus can become real, not in history, but in today's ever-changing world. Why have we so long ignored the first twenty years of the Jesus movement? Why has the church been built upon the stories of the death and resurrection of Jesus instead of upon his teachings? Why has the search for the historical Jesus produced so little solid information? Is there any historical justification for belief in the "real" Jesus? Is there a spiritual foundation for commitment to the "real" Jesus? Where can the "real" Jesus be found? What impact will this view of Jesus have on the Christian faith and the church? The bottom line is that Fry has produced an original and cogent case for a new vision of Jesus, the "real" Jesus who can shine a bright light on your future.
