"A Teacher of Strange Things" by Cy Kellett is a straightforward read that explains Jesus, his historical significance and his unique teachings in simple terms sans layers of deep theological assumptions and jargon. Really good foundation for anyone who thinks they know Jesus but may not fully - from the uninitiated to those who have a deep faith but may be simply "following blindly the religion of their parents." Kellett doesn't pretend to go deep into philosophical and theological issues yet does so by reminding you that Jesus teachings were - are - radically different. For those who have been immersed in the Bible since near birth and know all of the stories, parables, and teachings, "A Teacher of Strange Things" is a fresh look and is a reminder that these "stories" which can be overly familiar are truly extraordinary.
