Christianity is in crisis. Increasing numbers of people are opting out. Why? Dr. Alexander Shaia moves beyond the typical approach to reveal an undiscovered truth thats been dormant for over one thousand years. Shaia reveals how the recurring cycles of change, loss, enlightenment, and maturation are illuminated by the Bibles four gospels. Combining ancient Christian traditions, anthropology, and modern psychology, he reveals what has been in front of our eyes for two thousand years: that each of the gospels is centered on a different core metaphor and each focuses on a vital spiritual question.
