Excerpt from The Christian Adventure
There are no arguments about the truth of Christianity in this book. It is wholly concerned with the preliminary question, "What is Christianity?"
I have had uncounted discussions with men and women about the truth of Christianity, and in the vast proportion of them I have found that they were talking about one thing while I was talking about another.
Sometimes I have found myself hoping devoutly that the thing which my interrogators called Christianity could not be proved true.
Therefore in these pages I have confined myself to an effort to present the message of Jesus as He gave it to the world. Within the limits set to me it has not been possible to do more than write a series of outlines, and I am painfully aware that no single topic has been adequately handled.
Yet I hope that what I have written may at least suggest to some that Christianity embodies the one summons to men and women that is adequate to their humanity, and that it offers to the race the one hope of solving all the problems of civilization.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. The author boldly delves into the essence of Christianity, focusing on the teachings and life of Jesus Christ. Contrary to popular belief, the author maintains that the primary message of Jesus was not centered on personal salvation but on the establishment of a transformed society. Through his concept of the "Kingdom of God," Jesus envisioned a world where love, equality, and justice prevailed. The book challenges readers to transcend conventional religious practices and embrace the radical implications of Jesus' message. It argues that true Christian living requires a complete surrender of self-interest, leading to a life dedicated to service and the pursuit of the common good. By shedding light on the social and ethical dimensions of Jesus' teachings, this book offers a fresh perspective on the transformative power of Christianity, inviting readers to critically examine their own spiritual beliefs and to actively participate in building a just and compassionate society.
