“Gomes is an iconoclast, and his book is an alternately eloquent and folksy attack on everybody who is sure of the right answer.” —Newsweek

How the Church Domesticated Jesus

With his unique blend of eloquence and insight, the esteemed Harvard minister Peter J. Gomes invites us to hear anew the radical nature of Jesus’ message of hope and change. Using examples from ancient times as well as from modern pop culture, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus shows us why the good news is every bit as relevant today as when it was first preached.

“Of the hundreds of books on Jesus’ teachings, this is by far the best. Mincing no words, it drives home how radical Jesus’ teachings really are.” —Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions

“An incisive original . . . [Gomes is] a born storyteller.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
