PAP. Condizione: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Who was Jesus before belief turned him into doctrine?This book explores the life of Jesus as a man rather than a divine figure-an ethical revolutionary whose teachings emphasized compassion, restraint, and responsibility without reliance on authority, reward, or fear.Following the historical arc of his life while setting aside later theological interpretations, the book examines how Jesus' refusal of power was transformed into institutional control, how belief became a substitute for moral agency, and how religion evolved into a force capable of shaping civilizations-for good and for harm.Moving beyond biography, it confronts larger questions: - Has religion helped humanity mature-or delayed that maturity by offering moral shortcuts?- What happens when belief weakens but responsibility remains?- Could humanity survive without religion, or would it simply replace it with something worse?This is not a rejection of faith, nor an argument for disbelief. It is an examination of responsibility-where it has been placed, where it has been avoided, and whether the ethical posture embodied by Jesus still matters in a post-religious world.Written for readers interested in history, philosophy, ethics, and the human consequences of belief, this book invites reflection rather than certainty-and leaves the hardest questions unresolved. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
