I just finished The Karma of Jesus by Mark Herringshaw. I love Christian Apologetics so this book was right up my alley. Of course being an apologetic it is heavy theologically. In short, I'll have to read it more than once.
The book centers on a couple conversations Mr. Herringshaw had with some hecklers at a couple of his speeches. They asked some interesting questions and he did his best to give decent answers. Mostly they asked about justice and how God dispences it.
Universally speaking, all people commonly accept the idea that we reap what we sow. Sow good seeds, get a good harvest. Sow bad ones and the harvest will be the same. Herringshaw attempts to take a look at this commonly held belief through God's salvation plan. He starts out with giving a brief history lesson on the beginnings of the concept of karma and slowly builds an argument for salvation through Christ using plenty of history, humor, theology, and sometimes philosophy.
The book was really good and of course intends the reader to think actively while reading. I really enjoyed it and do plan on re-reading it for a deeper and better understanding. If books of this sort are within your interests, I do suggest you add this one in particular to your list.
