What happens when a respected Christian journalist decides to put his preconceptions aside and
take a long look at the Jesus described in the Gospels? How does the Jesus of the New
Testament compare to the ''new, rediscovered" Jesus -- or even the Jesus we think we know so
well? Best-selling author Phillip Yancey says, "The Jesus I got to know in writing this book is
very different from the Jesus I learned about in Sunday school. In some ways he is more
comforting; in some ways more terrifying."
Yancey offers a new and different perspective on the life of Christ and his work -- his teaching,
his miracles, his death and resurrection -- and ultimately, who he was and why he came.
Relating the gospel events to the world we live in today, The Jesus I Never Knew gives a moving
and refreshing portrait of the central figure of history. With a willingness to tackle difficult
questions, Yancey looks at the radical words of this itinerant Jewish carpenter and asks whether
we are taking him seriously enough in our own day and age. From the manger in Bethlehem to
the cross in Jerusalem, Yancey presents a complex character who generates questions as well as
answers; a disturbing and exhilarating Jesus who wants to radically transform your life and
stretch your faith.
The Jesus I Never Knew uncovers a Jesus who is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless,
compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying. This honest book will help you discover
a different Jesus from the flannelgraph Sunday school figure, the sweetly smiling Victorian
Savior, and all the cultural clichés that have tamed Jesus and kept him in comfortable religious
boxes. According to Yancey, "No one who meets Jesus ever stays the same. In the end I found
the process of writing this book to be a great act of faith-strengthening. Jesus has rocked my
own preconceptions and has made me ask hard questions about why those of us who bear his
name don't do a better job of following him."
