Who Can Bring Peace into the World?

  This year’s holiday season reminded me of a story in Bruce Feiler’s book, Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths (p. 13).

  It is important to refer to the Jewish Jesus, instead of calling him “ Yeshua ” in conversations with people who have never heard that name before. “ Jewish Jesus ” reminds people that his culture was Jewish .
