Paperback. Condizione: Good. Why are so many intelligent and compassionate people embarrassed to say they find wisdom and comfort in the Bible? Why do so many seekers turn to New Age religions instead of the Bible? And how, as a society, did we come to cede biblical interpretation to those who would use the Bible as a tool for division and exclusion?

He also explains what the Bible really says about women, gays and lesbians, and people of color.

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Jesus came preaching, but the church wound up preaching Jesus. Why does the church insist upon making Jesus the object of its attention rather than heeding his message? Esteemed Harvard minister Peter J. Gomes believes that excessive focus on the Bible and doctrines about Jesus have led the Christian church astray. "What did Jesus preach?" asks Gomes. To recover the transformative power of the gospel--"the good news"--Gomes says we must go beyond the Bible and rediscover how to live out Jesus' original revolutionary message of hope: "Dietrich Bonhoeffer once warned against cheap grace, and I warn now against cheap hope. Hope is not merely the optimistic view that somehow everything will turn out all right in the end if everyone just does as we do. Hope is the more rugged, the more muscular view that even if things don't turn out all right and aren't all right, we endure through and beyond the times that disappoint or threaten to destroy us." This gospel is offensive and always overturns the status quo, Gomes tells us. It's not good news for those who wish not to be disturbed, and today our churches resound with shrill speeches of fear and exclusivity or tepid retellings of a health-and-wealth gospel. With his unique blend of eloquence and insight, Gomes invites us to hear anew the radical nature of Jesus' message of hope and change. Using examples from ancient times as well as from modern pop culture, The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus shows us why the good news is every bit as relevant today as when it was first preached.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Peter J. Gomes opens scripture to thoughtful inquiry, exploring the risk and joy of the living Word. "The Bible and the social and moral consequences that derive from its interpretation are all too important to be left in the hands of the pious or the experts, and too significant to be ignored and trivialized by the uninformed and indifferent. Examining past struggles over slavery and temperance, Gomes shows how social customs were mistaken for divine decrees. The author reveals that scripture is far too complex to be captured by rigid literalism, yet far too resilient to be dismissed as an ancient relic. This study proves demanding enough to confront historic abuses, yet pastoral enough to address the personal search for moral purpose. Surveying trials of suffering, wealth, and science, the chapters guide modern readers toward a lively biblical faith. Biblical Interpretation: Identifies the three common hazards of Bible study--worshiping the bound book as an idol, elevating the letter over the spirit, and forcing ancient texts to sanction the cultural status quo. Case Studies: Traces how selective readings historically defended chattel slavery through the curse of Ham, excused anti-Semitism, and silenced pioneering early leaders like Lydia, Phoebe, and Priscilla. Hermeneutics: Re-examines contentious passages in Leviticus and Romans often cited against homosexuality, demonstrating how ancient cultural taboos and exploitative practices differ from modern committed partnerships. Biblical Studies: Explores how scripture confronts the deepest realities of the human condition, from the origins of evil and temptation to the search for joy and the encounter with divine mystery. Also by This Author: The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus, Sermons and Strength for the Journey.…
