Summary
The main thrust of this book is an elaboration on the love and joy contained in the message of Christ as proclaimed to us in the Gospels, a message which the author characterizes as extremely simple: "An old era is done. God is intervening to begin a new age of incredible generosity ... great is the payoff ..." And it has been the very simplicity of Jesus' message that has been ignored by theologians and scholars through the ages.
