Authentic heroism

Dan Sadowsky

Editors' Note: In a survey in the United States by a university professor, three hundred and forty students were asked to name their top five heroes. The most frequent first choices were the students' own parents. Among the other ten most frequently named were the students' own grandfathers, Christ Jesus, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., Albert Einstein, and Abraham Lincoln.

According to "Where Have All The Heroes Gone?" The New York Times, July 31, 1985.

My initial interest in the life of Christ Jesus grew out of a fascination with his so-called miracles. When I began to learn in a Christian Science Sunday School that we could actually do the works he did—indeed, that we were expected to—I became intrigued with the prospect of performing such marvelous feats.
