About the Book
Thousands of steeples on the horizon represent countless agendas, doctrines, quarrels. And they represent a question: How can we know anything about Jesus now? The answer, according to Rick James, is in the context. He recalls the specific contexts that color Jesus' story, bringing forward this man you've heard so much-and so little-about.Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
Writing primarily for seekers and new believers, Rick James helps remove those barriers by presenting Jesus' words and actions in the ever-important context of the culture in which He lived. James writes in an engaging, accessible style designed to appeal primarily to the Campus Crusade and InterVarsity demographic. Even so, all but the stodgiest post-college readers should appreciate his sense of humor and understand his contemporary cultural references. For those seekers who are almost there but not quite ready to commit, Jesus Without Religion is a good supplementary read. It may not answer all their questions about Jesus, but it hits the high points and does so in a thoughtful but easy-to-understand way.
