Jesus in Books

Mealtime is a big deal for Jesus, and who we eat with matters a whole lot. Find out why in this episode of Jesus in Books as we discuss "A Meal With Jesus" by Tim Chester.

Does Christ cry for us, and why is the most powerful being in the universe so meek? Answers in this episode of Jesus in Books. The book reviewed is "The God Who Weeps" by Terryl and Fiona Givens.

In this episode I look at the creepy "Infancy Gospel of Thomas" apocrypha (and the Twilight Zone episode it reminds me of) and review Son of Man by Welles Bristol.

With the help of David Limbaugh's book "The Emmaus Code", we uncover some of the ways Jesus appears (and disappears) in the Old and New Testament.

Could the seemingly angry, jealous warmonger God of the Old Testament be the patient loving Christ of the New Testament? Absolutely. The book "Is God a Moral Monster?" by Paul Copan explains why.

In this episode I share four powerful statements from "Jesus Prom" by Jon Weece and two short stories (parables?) about shoelaces.

Guest Willy Bekoe and I discuss the controversial book "Jesus: A Meditation on His Stories and His Relationships with Women" by Andrew Greeley. Strong meat ahead.

In Jeremiah Jesus says "I am black". Elsewhere in the KJV He's called JAH. Discover the biblical roots of the Rastafari in this episode of Jesus in Books. Reviewed is Dread Jesus by William David Spencer.

Discover why Jesus gets angry more in the Gospel of Mark than elsewhere in the NT, and why an Aramaic-to-English Bible is worth more than a camel.

Words like "judge", "sin" and "advocate" can either draw us closer to Christ and God the Father, or push us away. The beautiful book The Christ Who Heals by Fiona and Terryl Givens explains.
