Review: Saving Jesus from the Church by Robin Meyers. This is by a pastor at Mayflower Congregational Church in Oklahoma. I loved this book. It's about getting back to the true message of Jesus - and the idea that Jesus didn't want to be worshipped or to found a church, but was a teacher who wanted people to follow his example. The book will shock and inspire. Quoted passages include Marcus Borg, Annie Dillard and John Shelby Spong.

Review: I began reading this book through gritted teeth, and persevered because my pal wanted me too. My presuppositions about Creedal Trinitarianism are entirely opposite to Dr Meyers. His book is a tasty meal of old hat, rejected by the vast majority of thinking Christians, who gladly accept that God was in Christ reconciling the world. Meyers succeeds in making two plus two make five because he carves away from Scripture all that he doesn't like, and takes for granted that the foremost scholars are those he agrees with. So we have a Jesus reduced to a prophet, not a Saviour. A good man whose disciples drew the wrong conclusions and stitched together inspiring books which need nowadays to be filleted so that in effect nothing of the divine remains. That is not to deny that there are insights and arguments in this book for which I am grateful. But there is no need to Rescue Jesus from the Church, and this book points down a dead end. As dead as the Jesus of Meyers' thought.
