What
does it mean to “become human”? For Brian Taylor
the key lies with the One who lived closest to God, who saw the
divine as the locus of daily life. “As we follow Jesus,
we will find that he helps us to become human, truly and fully
human,”he writes. “In his fellowship, we become the
creatures that our Creator intends us to be.” It
is in Christ’s example that we step closest to the sacred—not
by trying to rise above our humanity, but rather by embracing
who we are and finding God in life as we live it now. Through
his new book Becoming Human, Taylor reflects on Christ's
teachings as they apply to us every day, in every situation,
as templates designed by a God who lived as man. They appear
so basic—Become Simple, Help the Poor, Wake Up, Be Yourself—yet
in these simple teachings Jesus offered us the
way to new life.
