'Dying to Live' is a radical exploration of the life of Jesus
through the memories of Peter the Apostle and his translator Mark.
It is a journey, not a destination. It is a continuing quest not in
search of integrity but to preserve it. This book offers glimpses
of a deeper relevant spirituality for today. The starting point is
that the 'Gospel' of Mark was written as an interpretive biography,
not as sacred text. To over-spiritualise the reading of Mark is to
miss the real Jesus contained within its pages. To follow Jesus is
not so much concerned with 'right belief' as it is about how one
lives. Jesus accepted people as they were and especially offered
the outsider and the rejected dignity and a sense of personal
worth. Churches have rightly encouraged charitable giving,
especially to the poor and the outcast, but its creeds and
doctrines have misrepresented the transformational life and
teaching of Jesus, masking the hard cost of discipleship required
to address the underlying root causes of violence, hunger and
poverty in a world of plenty.
