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.

John Dickson

Dr John Dickson thinks, writes, and speaks. Starting out as a singer-songwriter, he now works as an author, academic, and media presenter. In 2007 he co-founded (with Dr Greg Clarke) the Centre for Public Christianity, and has published 18 books and three TV documentaries. He teaches ‘Historical Jesus’ at the University of Sydney, and is a Visiting Academic (2017-2020) in the Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford. In 2019 he was appointed Distinguished Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Public Christianity at Ridley College, Melbourne. In all that he does, whether in the media or the church, creative or academic, he strives to be a public advocate for the Christian faith. His podcast Undeceptions seeks to promote clarity about Christianity in doubting times. Having lost his father in a plane crash at 9, John is sympathetic to the sorrows and questions of our world, and values his wife and three children above all other gifts of this life.

Simply Christianity

A more adult approach by John Dixon on his favourite subject – what is Christianity really about and why should we respond to God. I recommend this book as a starting point for those new to Christianity who want to explore what they have said they believe or as an introduction to someone who simply has questions about what makes a Christian when there are so many ‘versions’ around these days. This book doesn’t have all the answers and the author makes that clear – it is a starting point to help people come to understand what it means to be Christian – to follow Christ.
