I write from the perspective of a Christian in the Episcopalian tradition, but I also acknowledge and respect other religious views of Jesus. I believe in the teachings of Jesus as the Son of God and the savior of humanity, but I am open to learning about and understanding how Jesus is viewed in other faith traditions. I believe that it is important to engage in respectful dialogue and seek to understand different perspectives in order to promote mutual understanding and respect among people of different religious beliefs.

I hope that this book sparks your curiosity about Jesus Christ and encourages you to delve deeper into the exploration of his life, teachings, and impact on the world. May it inspire you to seek a deeper understanding of his message and its relevance to your own life.
