Okay, guys – I’m pretty excited about this: I’ve decided to walk through the New Testament gospels, the accounts of Jesus, and translate into our terms. Use this post for your comments about the page linked below.
I’ll share my own Christian perspective of Jesus: you are free to do with it what you will. I’m not sharing out of the scholarly authority of a theologian, (though I do have three theology papers with Carey Baptist College 🙂 ), or the designated authority of an ordained priest, nor am I trying to displace either one: rather, I am seeking to translate what I have already gained from these.
If you want to study the Bible, go for it, and tell us what you find! I’d recommend a good Study Bible from any Christian bookstore, and maybe a concordance: I found these resources really valuable when I was searching for God.
For my part, I ‘grew up’ in my Christian journey with the NIV Study Bible – so if I use quotes, it will be from this. But my style here will be to evoke: for me, Christianity, and Christ, are at their heart deeply spiritual.
Join me! Share your thoughts along the way. Let’s do this together, as we do life together.
I’ll be writing on this page:

Pull up a chair, and a coffee/tea/hot chocolate (beer? 🙂 ), and let’s see what Jesus has to say.
