I've long asserted that the Bible is the most complicated book in the western canon. Today, I found Frederick Buechner agreeing with me, at least as far as the gospel that Jesus preached is concerned.
"Anybody who thinks the gospel of Jesus is simple should go back and take a look at it. 'Love your neighbor.' 'Be ye perfect.' 'Resist not evil.' 'I and the Father are one.' 'Follow me.' The only thing that's simple about the gospel is the language."Frederick Buechner, Beyond Words, 306.
