Description
In The Godless Gospel, Julian Baggini challenges our assumptions about Jesus—and the Christian values he promotes—by focusing on his teachings in the Gospels. Stripping away the religious elements, Baggini asks how we should understand Jesus's attitude to the renunciation of the self, to politics, or to sexuality, as expressed in Jesus's often-elusive words.
An atheist from a Catholic background, Baggini grapples with Jesus's sometimes contradictory messages, and against his own scepticism, finds that Jesus's words amount to a purposeful and powerful philosophy, which has much to teach us today.

The book is noted for its engaging presentation of complex philosophical and theological ideas, highlighting the moral wisdom in the Gospels while questioning how they can be integrated into a secular framework.
