A beloved teacherhelps modern people live the Bible’s message more fully. Respected teacher and author Verna Dozier explores the ways thathumanity and the institutional church have strayed far from Jesus’s originalmessage. To help us get back on track, she examines the Bible: a theologicaland historical record of hundreds of years in which two communities of faith(Jewish and early Christian) explored their own life experiences. Our task nowis not to ask which interpretations are correct, but to ask “what did it meanto them” and “what does it mean for us?” Dozier encourages us to seeChristianity not as creed or institution, but as “the vision of a newpossibility for human life rooted in an ancient understanding of God and livedout by a Nazarene carpenter.”Through adept storytelling and study, Dozierreawakens our sense of calling and our desire for truth.
