A. James Bernstein-- \"\u003cem\u003eSurprised by Christ\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a man searching for truth and unable to rest until he finds it. Raised in Queens, New York, by formerly Orthodox Jewish parents whose faith had been undermined by the Holocaust, Arnold Bernstein went on his own personal quest for spiritual meaning. He was ready to accept God in whatever form He chose to reveal Himself-- and that form turned out to be Christ. But Bernstein soon perceived discrepancies in the various forms of Protestant belief that surrounded him, and so his quest continued-- this time for the true Church. Surprised by Christ combines an engrossing memoir of one man's life in historic times and situations-- from the Six-Day War to the Civil Rights Movement to the Jesus Movement in Berkeley-- with an examination of the distinctions of Orthodox theology that make the Orthodox Church the true home not only for Christian Jews, but for all who seek to know God as fully as he may be known.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2021-11-23T13:41:03-06:00","created_at":"2021-11-22T14:04:53-06:00","vendor":"Dahlia","type":"Christmas Candles","tags":["book","Christ

A. James Bernstein-- \"\u003cem\u003eSurprised by Christ\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a man searching for truth and unable to rest until he finds it. Raised in Queens, New York, by formerly Orthodox Jewish parents whose faith had been undermined by the Holocaust, Arnold Bernstein went on his own personal quest for spiritual meaning. He was ready to accept God in whatever form He chose to reveal Himself-- and that form turned out to be Christ. But Bernstein soon perceived discrepancies in the various forms of Protestant belief that surrounded him, and so his quest continued-- this time for the true Church. Surprised by Christ combines an engrossing memoir of one man's life in historic times and situations-- from the Six-Day War to the Civil Rights Movement to the Jesus Movement in Berkeley-- with an examination of the distinctions of Orthodox theology that make the Orthodox Church the true home not only for Christian Jews, but for all who seek to know God as fully as he may be known.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e"}
