The book by the famous German theologian is an authorized abridged version of his famous work “Being a Christian.” Hans Küng confronts a person with the problem of an honest view of Christianity. At the heart of the book is the life and fate of Jesus of Nazareth himself. The author avoids abstract exegetical and dogmatic reasoning and historically accurately shows all the most characteristic and special things that exist in the Christian program and practice. The reader has the opportunity to compare what practical Christianity was originally and what it has become today for every person who strives to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life.
