Overview

This insightful study of Jesus in the gospels combines scholarly analysis with down-to-earth wisdom to illuminate the revolutionary way Christ redefined honour, claimed authority, and built community through shared meals. Examining key passages and themes, the book reveals how Jesus upended the social hierarchies of his day by honouring the marginalised, demonstrating his authority through acts of service and sacrifice rather than force, and establishing a new kind of family that transcends class, ethnicity and status around the table. Both intellectually robust and immensely practical, this work challenges readers to follow Jesus' subversive example in their own lives and communities today. An eye-opening look at the Jesus of the gospels and his transformative vision for the church and world. The Understanding the Bible series is a powerful set of short commentaries that summarise key biblical elements and equip Christian leaders with practical information. Jam-packed with insights from biblical scholarship and pastoral wisdom, each book allows pastors and students of the Bible to grow in their understanding of Jesus and His call to courageous discipleship.
