A Teacher of Strange Things: Who Jesus Was, What He Taught, and Why People Still Follow Him by Cy Kellett
I recently finished the audio version of this book and would highly recommend it, or the print version, to both anyone who is new to the faith or who has been part of it for a while. I wouldn’t say I’m a complete slouch when it comes to being educated about the faith but there were several moments in which I went “huh, hadn’t thought of that” or “that’s a great insight.”
I first came to know Mr. Kellett through the Catholic Answers radio show which I faithfully listened to on many a trip home through the backroads. I appreciate his natural approach to managing the show and callers and he generally partners with one of several well-known Catholic apologists. I always learn something from it.
He always seemed like such a modest guy and, for some reason, I guess I did not know what to expect of him as an author. On Catholic Answers, he generally deferred to his guest apologists to answer questions but it’s clear that he can hold his own as a great author on the faith. Pleasantly suprised.
