Books by Paul Johnson

Siden det moderne gennembrud for hundrede og halvtreds år siden har såkaldt moderne livstolkninger bestræbt sig på at fortrænge kristendommen og det grundlag, som de moderne samfund hviler på. Uden at støde på bemærkelsesværdig modstand.Sekulære og ateistiske livstolkninger har domineret, og den kristne kultur er behændigt søgt forvandlet til harmløse ”fortællinger”, ligesom man har bestræbt sig på at forvise den historiske Jesus til myternes tågeland.Paul Johnsons bog er sådan set ude i et opgør med den moderne ”videnskabelige” tidsalder. Johnson fortæller om Jesus – den historiske person fra Nazareth i Galilæa, en undersåt i en fjern jødisk provins i det mægtige romerske imperium. Som er lige så historisk og dokumenteret som hans samtidige, den romerske kejser.Johnson skriver, at tilsynekomsten på jorden af en skikkelse, der både var Gud og menneske, er kristendommens kerne. På den baggrund giver han Jesus-skikkelsen kød og blod --- og meget mere. For at understrege kristendommens universelle karakter er bogen forsynet med 16 sider med billeder af hovedpersonen fra alverdens lande og traditioner.Bent Jensen har oversat bogen og forsynet den med et forord og med en personlig efterskrift, hvor han fortæller om sin indremissionske barndom i Kjellerup.

Description Choose Life tells of a journey of personal growth and development, set against the realities of a stressful modern lifestyle. It shows the search for meaning and fulfilment in life, and takes a refreshingly honest and holistic approach to living the life that you want to live - one that is easily accessible, and very different from the usual 'ten easy steps to fulfilment' or promises of 'enlightenment in 30 days'.
