Who Was Jesus Really? - Part 12: What Jesus Really Meant by Faith

Jesus meant faith in a much more down-to-earth and immediate way than the church has meant faith. Jesus's faith resonates with wisdom from many sources, including Heraclitus, Emerson, quantum physics, Eastern wisdom, and our everyday experience.
Enjoy!
About this series:
Jesus Christ wasn't who almost anyone thinks he was. And his message is more important than almost anyone realizes.
What Christ embodied and taught transcends our neat categories, whether religious, scientific, or strictly historical.
This series puts Jesus in the largest possible perspective, revealing what he said about reality and our place in it.
Encompassing the historical, psychological, and the spiritual, this series frees our view of Jesus from both the dogma of the church and the skepticism of atheists.
