The Radical Jesus, the Bible, and the Great Transformation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book is strongly commended. The Radical Jesus is an appeal for transformation in the past and present, densely and clearly articulated. It is a book about a call for a ‘new kind of leadership.’ It is about Jesus, killed by imperial power long before his crucifixion. Nowhere else have I learned more in such a condensed way than in this book about the economical and political context of Jesus. . . . Douglas Oakman records Jesus’s transformative ethos of radical grace, words ‘that might be still be taken seriously.’”
