Description
“What did Jesus preach?” asks esteemed Harvard pastor Peter J. Gomes, who believes that excessive focus on the Bible and doctrines about Jesus have led the Christian church astray. To recover the transformative power of the gospel – “the good news” – Gomes says we must go beyond the Bible and rediscover how to live out Jesus’s original revolutionary message of hope. With eloquence and insight, using examples from ancient times as well as modern pulp culture, Gomes shows us why the good news is every bit as relevant today as it was when first preached.The New York Times’ bestselling author and renowned Harvard preacher takes on the hot-button issues in the church and world today in a discussion of his new book, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus.
