“Genius” is often not the first word that comes to mind when people think about Jesus. But when studied in detail, Jesus’s teachings portray brilliance. In “The Surprising Genius of Jesus,” Dr. Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus’s teachings. This interview is meant to strengthen Christians’ confidence in the intellectual fortitude of Jesus and to challenge skeptics to reconsider how they view him.
