Advent Sermon (2), Post 1: Topic, Link, Anne Rice.

Advent Series 2: The Questions of God - 'Who are you?'

In this sermon we look at two of the points at which people get stuck in trying to deal with Jesus: the point of initial, casual interest and the point of final decision.

Here's the quote from Anne Rice about moving from mere interest in Jesus to investigation:

I had taken in a lot of fashionable notions about Jesus…that the Gospels were ‘late’ documents, that we really didn’t know anything about him…I’d acquired many books on Jesus…. But the true investigation began in 2002…I put aside everything else and…decided that I would give myself utterly to the task of trying to understand Jesus himself and how Christianity emerged.
