The Disruption of Jesus: The Gospel and Revolutionizing the Journey from Settler to Sojourner
The Jesus of history is known as Jesus the Jew, who was a restorer of the covenant with God's people; we know the Jesus of the Gospel as a revolutionary. But how does restoration and revolution come together in our time? How do we make meaning out of our changing world where systems of power that we have found comfort in fall down around us? In this exploration of the disruption of Jesus to empirical structure and institutional church, we look at how the Gospel teachings can lead us from a place of settler to sojourner; from an interpretation of dominion and power to one of radical hope and love of other.
