Deep dives
Jesus as a Jewish mystic
In progressive Christianity, Jesus is often portrayed as a Jewish mystic, someone who experienced God vividly and had a personal, subjective understanding of the sacred. This view emphasizes Jesus' connection to the Jewish tradition and his mystical experiences of God. Progressive Christians see Jesus as a model who shows us how to experience love, fulfillment, and meaning, and to work towards social justice and unity. This understanding of Jesus is rooted in postmodern thought and rejects traditional doctrines of divinity, miracles, and atonement.
