What do we learn about Jesus as a teacher and about his message from these parables? When the Gospel of Thomas was discovered in the sands of Egypt some sixty years ago, an earthquake hit New Testament scholarship. Evidence that Thomas might be earlier than the four gospels opened up some new doors. The author entered one of those doors in writing this book. He used Thomas’ version of a parable whenever that existed. And the Jesus discovered through this method might surprise you. William James’ Revolution: A New Perspective on “The Varieties of Religious Experience” When it was first published in 1902, The Varieties of Religious Experience caused a revolution, a quantum leap, a paradigm shift. James opened the door to the scientific study of religious experience, probing the relationship between religion and psychology. This classic text by William James should be required reading for anyone wanting to study religion. But years of college teaching convinced the author that this is a daunting read for most undergraduate students, and even for some older adults. Ron parsed sections of James’ text and provides commentary and insight on each one throughout this must-read book, thus opening the world of James like never before. ABOUT RON MILLER: Dr. Ron H. Miller was a highly-regarded religion professor at Lake Forest College for almost 40 years, co-founder of Common Ground, Board member at Hands of Peace, author and frequent lecturer on various theological topics including inter-religious dialogue, early Christianity and spirituality.
