THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS IN MODERN STORY FORM |
| |
The basis of Christianity
are the teachings of Jesus Christ. This is an undisputed
fact. While they have been passed through time in many
forms and incarnations, the settings and text have
remained unchanged. The Man and a Boy (published by
Universe) by Dr. James McBride employs techniques of
academic literary discourse to update the ideals and
teachings of Jesus to a modern setting.
The Man and a Boy is a portrayal of Jesus as a teacher,
friend and spiritual father of the little boy. The story
covers approximately twelve years of the boy’s life. As
The Man and a Boy progresses, the boy grows from a child
into a young adult. The boy gains knowledge of the
words, ideas, thoughts and language of the heroes and
idols that have permeated the modern world and attempts
to reconcile them with the teachings of Christianity. We
learn from their original works. This book is the
accumulation of their ideas. I can only say that I trust
and believe in the truth of their words and language.
“Steven Hawking is a theoretical physicist at the
University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. He is
known for his contributions to the fields of theoretical
cosmology and quantum gravity, especially in the context
of black holes.
“His scientific works included theorems regarding
singularities in general relativity, and the theoretical
discovery that black holes emit radiation, which is
known as Hawking radiation. He’s written some popular
best-selling science books about time and other science
ideas.”
“At first, I didn’t understand his words from math and
physics. After thinking about them, I got the general
idea about theorems, general relativity, black holes,
and radiation. Physics makes you think.”
The boy paused before continuing. “He’s a brilliant man
confined to a wheelchair. His handicap has not slowed
his thinking. He’s disabled by ALS, known as Lou
Gehrig’s disease.”
The Man interjected, “That gives us a good idea about
Steven Hawking. Here are some more of his words. Please
read them!” The Man handed the boy some papers.
Before he read the words from Steven Hawking, the boy
had to brag: “I think I understand how a scientist can
be a prophet of God.”
Dr James McBride was born and raised in St. Louis. Dr
McBride has devoted his life to learning and personal
understanding so that he may extend that understanding
to others.
