We Have Met the Pharisee and He Is Us

The Bible is filled with stories of people who walked away from face-to-face encounters with Jesus thinking he was a total jerk. This book explores the premise that if Jesus were to return today as he did two thousand years ago, he (or she!) would meet the same fate. That is, his own people would fail to recognize who he is, they would argue with him incessantly, and seek to have him destroyed. Written by a seasoned atheist turned Christian, this book seeks to help non-Christians have a better understanding of Christianity, including why we don't always do as we should. More importantly, at a time when many of our religious and political leaders are calling us to make America hate again, this book gives permission to people of all faiths to reject that call and follow Christ's call to love one another. Christ's message of love and shalom is timeless, and this book seeks to make Jesus present and relevant in our lives today. Join a retired school bus driver as he takes you on a trip through the Bible to see things that many lifelong Christians have not seen, including reasons why we all may want to argue with Jesus. See why there is no such thing as a "Godly" institution, how God has been warning us about global warming for forty years, how men are responsible for most abortions, and how Christians are called to move forward to make the world a better place rather than reverting to a mythological "great" past.
