There is
this wise and spiritual man, who has several followers. He spreads a message of
peace and tolerance. He gets killed by another man, with a hatchet. The
disciples of the killed decide to use an image of a hatched as symbol for the wise
man and his message. How much will this choice of symbol affect the way future
generations of disciples will spread, interpret and adapt the teachings, and
interact with ‘non-believers’?
Who chose
the cross? Why not a heart? How would our history have changed had early
Christians chosen a different image? How would the focus and evolution of
Christianity have changed?
