Contents Introduction: Liberate Jesus -- Friend -- Teacher -- Savior -- Lord -- Way -- Presence -- Conclusion: The universal Jesus.
Summary Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life's challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence. Freeing Jesus is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations, to experience Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most.
Subject Spiritual life.
Christian life.
Jesus Christ -- Character.
