The Trouble With Jesus (eBook, ePUB)

Considerations Before You Walk Away

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For 2000 years, Jesus has been both decried and leveraged. His story, set in a context so contrary yet strangely similar to today, serves as both a troubling and affirming testament to the quest for a meaningful life purpose.

Many know of Jesus, but perhaps not his complete story. Regardless of belief, Jesus signifies trouble - in the context of his time and for those grappling with his teachings today. Using elements of drama, The Trouble with Jesus demonstrates why both believers and skeptics are unsettled and provoked by the one who claimed to be the Son of God.

Jesus championed the marginalized, challenged wealth and power dynamics, and upended conventional wisdom through his parables. He defied the status quo and faced betrayal by corrupt religious and political authorities. His greatest trouble was being crucified and his subsequent resurrection, defeating death, ushering in a new era, and inspiring a new way of being.

In an edgy voice recognized by those wrestling with such existential questions, whether one has never been to church, or has been estranged from it, or once thought they knew him, The Trouble with Jesus confronts concepts of one of the most controversial figures whoever existed and the revolution he began.
