Book
The rebel Christ / Michael Coren.
"Christianity is in crisis, and its founder is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. This book presents the real Jesus: a rebel, a radical, and a revolutionary. What did Jesus--the original Jesus--say about the pressing issues of his and our day? He didn't mention homosexuality but did call for the poor and marginalized to be protected and championed; he never spoke of abortion but did criticize the wealthy and complacent; he didn't side with the rulers and wealthy but did condemn those who judged and exploited others and turned their eyes away from those in need and from the cry for justice. This was Jesus the rebel, Christ the radical, who turned the world upside down and demanded that his followers do the same. Too many of them, tragically, seem to have misplaced that vital lesson."-- Provided by publisher.

"The real Jesus was a rebel, a radical, and a revolutionary. Contrary to conservative Christian narratives today, the rebel Christ wasn't about judgment but forgiveness, not about rejection but inclusion. Michael Coren reveals what the real Jesus would say about the hot-button issues dividing Christians"-- - Ingram Publishing Services
âIntegrity, wit and passion. A fine advocate for the best of Christian thought and a faith that encompasses the human as well as the divine.â âStephen Fry
Christianity is in crisis, and its founder is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. This book presents the real Jesus: a rebel, a radical, and a revolutionary.
What did Jesus â the original Jesus â say about the pressing issues of his and our day? He didnât mention homosexuality but did call for the poor and marginalized to be protected and championed; he never spoke of abortion but did criticize the wealthy and complacent; he didnât side with the rulers and wealthy but did condemn those who judged and exploited others and turned their eyes away from those in need and from the cry for justice. This was Jesus the rebel, Christ the radical, who turned the world upside down and demanded that his followers do the same. Too many of those followers, tragically, seem to have misplaced that vital lesson. - Ingram Publishing Services
