Jesus, We Need to Talk: Did Jesus Really Do and Say All Those Things by Ruben Cornelius attempts to look past literal meaning in the Bible to reveal the true principles of Christianity

KERRVILLE, Texas (MMD Newswire) February 10, 2010 -- Jesus, We Need to Talk: Did Jesus Really Do and Say All Those Things by Ruben Cornelius challenges literalists who believe every word in the Bible is the word of God.

According to Cornelius, many Christians have stopped going to church because they are no longer able to follow the literal interpretation of the Bible. Cornelius presents a fictional conversation between Jesus and a Christian to determine the reliability of the Gospels and the truth of other bible stories. As the Christian character journeys through the Scriptures, he begins to discover "the Gospel truth," resulting in a new and stronger faith.

Cornelius has said that he believes a religion based on stories that people can no longer relate to is ineffective, but Christianity based on truth, and the knowledge possessed in the 21st century, could help people build a better society, or the kingdom of God. Told from a layperson's point of view, Jesus, We Need to Talk seeks to peel away the dogma and theological theories and provide the basis for a bold new understanding of what it means to be a Christian.

Jesus, We Need to Talk: Did Jesus Really Do and Say All Those Things? is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
