For many, the story of the Christ has lost the meaning it once had. In this work, Jean Houston revitalizes the story of Christ by presenting to readers the possibility of "being Christs". Dr. Houston draws from philosophy, mythology, Jungian psychology, mysticism, anthropology, new science, and just plain creativity to present the familiar gospel stories in a new light. Exercises which can be done individually or with a group allow the reader to experience these stories, not just read about them. (Quest Books)
Jean Houston examines the psychological and mythological meaning of the Christ story, retelling the life of Jesus from the inside out and opening the reader to the challenge of being Christ. Exercises cover major events in the life of Christ, including birth, baptism, healing ministry, death, and resurrection.
