A beloved teacher
helps modern people live the Bible's message more fully.



Respected teacher and author Verna Dozier explores the ways that
humanity and the institutional church have strayed far from Jesus's original
message. To help us get back on track, she examines the Bible: a theological
and historical record of hundreds of years in which two communities of faith
(Jewish and early Christian) explored their own life experiences. Our task now
is not to ask which interpretations are correct, but to ask "what did it mean
to them" and "what does it mean for us?" Dozier encourages us to see
Christianity not as creed or institution, but as "the vision of a new
possibility for human life rooted in an ancient understanding of God and lived
out by a Nazarene carpenter."

Through adept storytelling and study, Dozier
reawakens our sense of calling and our desire for truth.
