Oprah's Jesus : the rise of spirituality without religion
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
Oprah's name and image are instantly recognized by millions of adoring fans who view her as a long term friend and trusted spiritual mentor. But many have become troubled that Oprah seems less and less tolerant of her childhood faith and has begun celebrating a Jesus very different than the God-Man of her Sunday school lessons. Explore what Oprah calls her "preferred genre of spirituality" in comparison to traditional Christianity, transcendent beliefs rooted in historic Christian orthodoxy. Author Kurt Bruner tackles the topic head-on with open and respectful conversations that present the facts for readers to consider. He takes seriously the disillusionment many feel toward traditional Christianity, sharing stories from those who have left traditional Christianity for a more "inclusive" form of spirituality. Bruner, a former Focus on the Family vice-president, seeks to bridge some of the gap between those who see many paths to God and those who take seriously Jesus ́claim to be the only way.
