Simply Christianity (Simplified Chinese)

有时人们回避认识基督教的原因之一是因为社会上存在着很多不同的基督教派别，而每个派别又各有自己的主张、自己的仪式、自己的操作和自己的宗教套餐。

但是，假如我们能够越过这些──剥离所有的仪式、神话和教条；搁置相互的撕扯和争议；超越所有的「宗教」附属品──我们会发现什么呢？如果我们回到耶稣本人身上，回到新约中他的生平记载，我们又将发现什么才是真正的基督教呢？

这就是本书的目的：通过阅读并思考路加所写的耶稣的古旧传记，简单直白地呈现基督教的本质。

One of the reasons people sometimes avoid looking into Christianity is that there are so many Christianities on offer, each with their spin on things, their own rituals and practices, their own religious package.

But just imagine if we were able to get beyond this—to strip back all the rituals, myths and dogma; to put to one side the hair-splitting and disagreements; to get beyond all the trappings of 'religion'—what would we find? If we were to go back to Jesus himself, to the biographies about him contained in the New Testament, what would we discover Christianity to be about?

That is the project of this book. It aims to present simply Christianity, by reading and reflecting upon the ancient biography of Jesus written by Luke.
