Description

In The Moral Teachings of Jesus, David P. Gushee offers a fresh and compelling exploration of the central moral teachings of Jesus, perfect for post-evangelical Christians and those seeking a deeper understanding of how to live faithfully.

With clarity and scholarly precision, Gushee examines forty teachings of Jesus, drawn from all four New Testament Gospels, and distils Jesus' radical moral message into reader-friendly chapters.

In a time when many Christians feel disillusioned with the distortions of faith in the public sphere, Gushee provides a trustworthy guide to understanding what Jesus really said about how his followers should live.

It invites us all to move beyond surface-level faith and embrace a robust, practical expression of the will of God in today’s world.
