Here are a few questions from the study guide to provoke discussion. Please don't reply to this thread, but start a new one...

1. How does language “an approach to God” fit your spiritual needs?

2. What language would you have used for you own spiritual journey?

3. Do you feel as the life and teachings of Jesus have brought you closer to an experience of God? How so?

4. How does the absence of salvation language help or detract from your spiritual path?

5. How does the Jesus of history or his teachings affect your understanding of God?

6. How might our understanding of who and what we are, as human beings, change if we remove the need for the sacrifice of Jesus as the Pascal Lamb, our redeemer?

7. What is the difference between savior, hero, master, teacher, or prophet for you?
