Fountain of Change: How the Life and Ideas of Jesus Reshaped Our WorldIf Jesus were not the leader of the largest religious group in the world, he would be hailed today as the world’s greatest social reformer! In Fountain of Change, author Oscar R. Nordstrom takes a secular look at the life and ideas of Jesus and his beliefs about non-Christians, women’s rights, politics, and many other fascinating subjects. Jesus’ teachings have come down to us in so many memorable sayings. Nordstom explores numerous examples and their influences on today’s world. To name just a few:Render unto Caesar . . .A house divided against itself . . .Those who live by the sword . . .The truth will set you freeA sign of the timesSufficient unto the dayThe blind leading the blindDen of thievesEat, drink, be merry, and many, many more.Amazingly, most people are not aware of the influence that Jesus had upon innumerable notable figures in history. Here are just a few examples:GalileoLudwig von BeethovenCharles DickensLeo TolstoyFrederick DouglassMahatma GandhiJ. R. R. TolkienMartin Luther King, Jr.Fred McFeely (“Mr.”) Rogers, and so many others!Non-Christians and Christians alike will be surprised at how the insights in this book speak to them directly!
