Many people in Christian churches today encounter a form of historical Christianity in which the Christ experienceabirth, resurrection, healing, great teaching, and miraclesaare perceived as happening at a specific point in time 2,000 or so years ago. This book describes Christianity as an inner experience happening not only in historical time, but daily in divine time. This experience occurs on the inner level of the psyche or soul. This book uses a variety of perspectives to create a multiple-dimensional picture of the Christ experience. These perspectives include those of the Buddhist mystic Thich Nhat Hanh; physicists Jim Al-Khalili and Michio Kaku; psychologists Abraham Maslow, Jean Piaget, Carl Jung, Kazimierz Dabrowski, and Bruno Bettelheim; and theologians/psychologists John Sandford, Morton Kelsey, and M. Scott Peck.
