The Love Gospel, By Paul Ferrini

This is an excerpt for Paul Ferrini's newest book beng released by the publisher in November.


"If you serve the teachings of vicarious atonement you accept the gospels as they have come down to us as the absolute word of God and you interpret them literally.
You don’t believe that the master’s teachings can be clarified or adapted to today’s needs through direct communion with him. You do not accept the authority of present-day revelation.
If you serve the teachings of empowerment, you find guidance and inspiration not only in the gospels,
but in your direct communion with Jesus in your heart of hearts.
For you, revelation is an on-going reality in which guidance and insight are received."

"When you take away the experience of God, the belief in God becomes narrow, predictable and blind.
It was into such a time that Jesus was born. The Judaism of his time was pale, vapid, and musty. It lacked energy and life. It lacked the passion and conviction of experience.
Today, Christianity finds itself in the same boat.
The time for a renewal of the faith has come. If you are reading these words, you understand that this is necessary for you and for many others.
People often say to me “I cannot accept the teachings of the Church, but I still love Jesus. I still feel that he is my teacher.”
If this is you, take heart. Wipe away the preconceptions of the past and come to him with empty hands. He will teach you. He will guide you. He simply awaits your invitation."
