We like it too.

His lectures and this very wonderful book you mention deconstruct transcendenalism, a philosophical movement that presupposes a pseudo social hierachy. We all participate in the same Darwinian struggle for survival. Nobody escapes, not even Jesus. In fact, Jesus’ biggest problem was his disciples; they were the first to institutionalize his anti-institutional teachings. Mark’s Gospel, in fact, show how Jesus was often frustrated by their ignorance. That said, Sam does teach the lessons of the historical Jesus: the “let the children come to me” Jesus, not the Paulinian Messiah figure that will one day return and destroy the earth.

Anyway I highly recommend this book, probably the most well-researched piece of literature I ever had the good fortune of reading.
