Images of Jesus seen through the eyes of other cultures
Not only do many see the images of Jesus, God and the Spirit differently. Many see the Creation story differently also.
One of the disabilities of having only a Single Story to explain Creation is that it eliminates a great deal of human history and culture. The stories of creation need not be factual, but must illustrate within it's presentation universal truth to be of value to human history and to the evolution of our world and humanity itself. Fundamentalism on the other hand, in any form, does not allow for the wisdom of other stories, culture and traditions. The reason is because it is to narrow in its content and presentation. This TED talk by Novelist Chimamanda Adichie should help those who struggle with any one sided story.
