Great. Another book about Jesus. Whose agenda will the author be lugging along this time?Author Rick James begins by clearing his throat. Free of creeds, quarrels and specialized theologies, he speaks of Jesus.No dogma, no politics, no moral at the end.Jesus. What he said. What he did. And what, exactly, was the point.The answers about Jesus, according to Rick James, are in the context. In his own unconventional way, James recalls the specific contexts that color Jesus' story, bringing forward this man you've heard so much—and so little—about.
