About this ebook

"Jesus, As We Knew Him" invites reflection on the meaning of the man, the prophet, and the savior, through a series of imagined writings by Biblical characters who had different relationships with Jesus. From the individuals Jesus healed through the people he struggled with, these memoir-style pieces lift up what about Jesus was distinct and troubling and, for many, ultimately transforming. As Jesus appears in these reflections, he invites each person to know him in the context of their own life.

Inspired by the Ignatian discipline of imaginative prayer, "Jesus, As We Knew Him" offers a series of memoir-style stories told by Biblical characters recalling their time with Jesus, how they met him, how their understanding of the man and his ministry changed, often in confusing ways, and how their lives ultimately changed as well. As the stories unfold, the reader can see that Jesus was not a one-dimensional person or prophet but was a complex, mysterious individual whose mission was hard to grasp and whose purpose was seldom clear. What was clear, as these characters demonstrate, was that Jesus was compelling, even irresistible, so that upon meeting him one could not easily just walk away or ignore him. In a similar fashion, readers are invited through these stories to consider their own relationship with Jesus, what defines or limits it, how it might grow. The call Jesus gives each one is a call to know him within the context of one's own life.
