I'm reading Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century by Jonathan Glover right now.
I highly recommend it. Especially for Christians. Glover's not a Christian, but his concerns should concern us deeply.
Look at the feet. A broken bottle of incense lies on the floor. She lies there weeping and kissing the Son of God. She mops her tears with her hair. Some think its disgusting. His money man is sickened by the waste. The Son of God says "When you're forgiven much you love much." This humiliating, messy, desperate attempt at kindness is my kind of story. It illustrates the only kind of faith that fits me.
