Aug 31, 2015: BCNN: Daniel Darling Releases New Book, “The Original Jesus: Trading the Myths We Create for the Savior Who Is”
“I’ve seen a tendency among evangelicals, including myself, to create a Jesus in our own image rather than surrendering to the Spirit’s work of creating us in Christ’s image,” Darling told Baptist Press in an email interview. “The Scriptures present one Christ, the Christ of history, the Christ who is. I think chasing down a Jesus who looks just like us ends up with disappointment and disillusionment. The Jesus who is is infinitely better than the Jesus we create.”
