REVIEWS
for What
Would Jesus Really Do?
"I
avidly read this book in one sitting. It is a thoughtful and
insightful appraisal of the ethics of Jesus in the light of
contemporary humanism and rational inquiry."
—Paul Kurtz,
Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, State University of New York at
Buffalo, Chairman, Center for Inquiry
"I hope this book
will be widely read by Christians, especially those who believe that
so-called 'Christian Ethics' really is based on the sayings of Jesus
as presented in the New Testament."
—Peter Singer,
Princeton University, author of The Way We Eat: Why Our Food
Choices Matter and Writings on an Ethical Life
"Andrew Fiala faces openly and powerfully the
limits of the Bible when dealing with contemporary ethical issues. He
asserts the respect for scripture does not require the literalization
of time-oriented ancient texts which we then apply to complex modern
problems. The result is an exciting book designed to challenge
traditionalists and modernists alike."
—John Shelby
Spong, Author The Sins of Scripture
"Though intended for
classroom instruction, it is equally appropriate for anyone interested in
reflecting on living an ethical and moral life in today's world and well
suited to a contemporary audience searching for truth." more
