Excerpt: Salt & Light; The Complete Jesus (by (author) Jonathan Dean)
This book is a definitive and complete inquiry into the authentic Jesus. This Jesus is based on rational thinking, the simplest conjectures, and the best available sources of information. This project’s building blocks are ideas derived from the critical method of inquiry, often inspired by academic sources. The critical method is concerned with avoiding, in the case of religious writings, religious doctrine and human bias by applying a non-sectarian, reason-based approach to arrive at reasonable conclusions. As Christopher Hitchens put it: “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” I do not want Salt & Light to be so easily dismissed.
