Description: Jesus Behaving Badly The Puzzling Paradoxes of the Man from Galilee by Mark L. Strauss Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Jesus everybody likes, says Mark Strauss, is not the Jesus found in the Gospels. He preached about hell far more than the apostle Paul. He told his followers to hate their families. Not one of his twelve apostles was a woman. When we unpack these puzzling paradoxes and more, we gain greater insight into Jesus countercultural message and mission. Publisher Description Everybody likes Jesus. Dont they?We overlook that Jesus wasJudgmental—preaching hellfire far more than the apostle PaulUncompromising—telling people to hate their familiesChauvinistic—excluding women from leadershipRacist—insulting people from other ethnic groupsAnti-environmental—cursing a fig tree and affirming animal sacrificeAngry—overturning tables and chasing moneychangers in the templeHe demanded moral perfection, told people to cut off body parts, made prophecies that havent come true, and defied religious and political authorities. While we tend to ignore this troubling behavior, the people around Jesus didnt. Some believed him so dangerous that they found a way to have him killed.The Jesus everybody likes, says Mark Strauss, is not the Jesus found in the Gospels. Hes a figure weve created in our own minds. Strauss believes that when we unpack the puzzling paradoxes of the man from Galilee, we find greater insight into his countercultural message and mission than we could ever have imagined.
