Book
by Benjamin L. Corey
Benjamin Corey confronts our vision of Jesus head-on, asking the hard question: Is what we see and hear in the modern church all there is to the message of Jesus… or is there a more radical side to Jesus than we have been led to believe?
Get ready to encounter a Jesus that is determined to turn over the tables of a stale, ineffective and boring gospel that seeks to escape from the world instead of transforming it.
This radical Jesus and His message...
- Invites us to reorient our lives not on Christian religion, but on the person of Jesus
- Calls us to live out faith in the context of authentic community with others, instead of isolation
- Includes the excluded and invites the outcast to have a seat at the table
- Responds to enemies with a radical, unexplainable love
