The Other Jesus: Rejecting a Religion of Fear for the God of Love
"Reading The Other Jesus is a bit like clearing the mud from your eyes and seeing our Lord and Savior again for the first time." Chris Seay, senior pastor, Ecclesia, and author of The Gospel according to Jesus"Garrett demonstrates an uncanny ability to make the complex, clear. His new book brings the good and glad news alive." The Rev. Dr. Roger A. Paynter, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Austin, Texas"Clear, provocative, and sympathetic, this book opens fresh windows for the imagination and fresh perspectives on the figure of Jesus as the one on whom all our human hopes for joy and reconciliation can converge." Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury"With all the customary grace and conversational style his readers have come to expect, Greg Garrett delivers again. Powerfully persuasive and a delight for the mind and soul to consider." Phyllis Tickle, author ofThe Great EmergenceandThe Divine Hours."Greg Garrett is both a gifted writer and a deeply thoughtful follower of Christ. Whenever I read his work, I find a rare and moving mix of honesty--sometimes painful honesty--and tested hope, each made more vulnerable by the other." Brian D. McLaren, pastor, activist, and author ofA New Kind of Christian,A Generous Orthodoxy, andThe Secret Message of Jesus
