For the purposes of the book I am currently writing, I ask you to respond to the following questions as best you can. Anything you send to me will be for my eyes only, I assure full confidentiality. Please email your responses to houlemarylin@yahoo.ca or if you prefer, you may post your responses via comment.  Thanks for your time!

Question 1:

Many people have their own view of Jesus Christ, whether they are Christian or not. Some people's relationship with Christ is on a spiritual level, some believe he is just a historical figure, and others have different views.

I, myself, am a Pagan - yet I have my own personal ideas, beliefs, and views on Jesus.

How do you see Jesus Christ, personally?

Question 2:

(A follow up on question 1) The Gospels were written by people who knew Christ when he was alive, namely, his disciples. For that reason, we don't really get a good idea of what Jesus was like as a person: his mannerisms, habits, sense of humor, etc. - the way we would know a good friend.

Imagine you were alive at the time of Christ and knew him quite personally: what would it be like to have a conversation with him? What would he be like? What kind of things would he do/say? What kind of personality would he have? Use your imagination to picture hanging out with him and tell me what it's like to know Christ.

Question 3:

(A follow up on question 2)

With question two in mind, what do you think some of the other prominent characters in the bible were like as people? The disciples, Mary Mother of Jesus, Joseph, Mary Magdalene, etc. ?
