Il segno della croce tracciato da destra a sinistra, semplice gesto quotidiano per il cristiano ortodosso, può destare in noi curiosità, ma può suscitare anche un senso di disarmonia e di estraneità, dovuto forse alla scarsa conoscenza di quella che può essere a giusto titolo considerata l'altra faccia del cristianesimo.

Che cosa sappiamo effettivamente di Gesù? La domanda riceve, da sempre, molte risposte. Non a motivo delle fonti - ce ne sono di canoniche e di apocrife, oltre a un numero limitato di documenti non cristiani - ma a causa della loro interpretazione. Il volume si confronta con tre fondamentali approcci alla figura di Gesù: ecclesiale, storico, letterario. Attraverso questa polifonia di voci - insita già negli stessi vangeli di Matteo, Marco, Luca e Giovanni - si ripercorrono le parole e le opere di una figura unica, che ha inciso in modo profondo e duraturo sulle vicende del mondo.

Oggi i protestanti, con cattolici e ortodossi, costituiscono una delle tre grandi componenti del cristianesimo mondiale, eppure sono una realtà poco conosciuta dagli italiani. Il ricco pluralismo interno che fin dalle origini caratterizza il mondo protestante spesso disorienta chi lo osserva con occhi cattolici. Luterani, chiese riformate, anglicani, metodisti, battisti, pentecostali... che cosa hanno in comune e che cosa li distingue?

Figura chiave del cristianesimo nascente, Pietro è il primo ad aver visto Gesù risorto: un evento che fonda la sua autorità e fa di lui una delle "colonne" della comunità di Gerusalemme. Personaggio dai forti contrasti, unisce alla determinazione e alla responsabilità del capo la fragilità dell'uomo, che nel momento della difficoltà non esita a rinnegare il Maestro. Il suo martirio, avvenuto probabilmente a Roma sotto Nerone, lo ha indissolubilmente collegato a quella città, stabilendo - non senza dolorose fratture - il primato romano nella compagine delle chiese cristiane.

Da 2000 anni a questa parte la presenza del papa sulla scena mondiale e il suo ruolo al vertice della chiesa cattolica sono profondamente cambiati, ma il papa resta una figura conosciuta a livello planetario, con un'autorità morale di rilevanza universale. Chi è colui che si presenta come l'ultimo successore dell'apostolo Pietro? Quale peso ha avuto il papato nella storia? In che modo questa istituzione millenaria si confronterà con i mutamenti del complesso mondo globale?

The Bible for Grown-Ups neither requires nor rejects belief. It sets out to help intelligent adults make sense of the Bible - a book that is too large to swallow whole yet too important in our history and culture to spit out. Why do the creation stories in Genesis contradict each other? Did the Exodus really happen? Was King David a historical figure? Why is Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus so different from Luke's? Why was St Paul so rude about St Peter?

Academics dismiss both accounts as no more than a pious legend. Who is right?
