Jesus the Teacher within

Jesus the Teacher Within

With a forward by the Dalai Lama and recommendation text from the Archbishop of Canterbury this title is a significant challenge to review. Freeman, a member of the Order of St Benedict and Director of the World Community for Christian Meditation, has crafted a text based around Matthew 16:1 -”… and who do you say I am?”.
This book is a challenging read that has much to recommend it and is tangibly the product of years of experience of contemplative discipline. For readers with multi-faith leanings and sympathies this will be a gold mine and a wealth of wisdom that has blended learning from several religious disciplines – particularly Buddhism & Hinduism. For the more orthodox and evangelical minded Christian this will challenge sensibilities with overt and significant syncretistic leanings, and support for panentheism (God is in everything). With conclusions such as “Jesus did not rise because ‘he was God’ but because he was fully human” many would treat the other observations raised with caution.
