Day The Revolution Began, The : Reconsidering the Meaning of Jesus's Crucifixion
Overview: Leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author argues that the church has lost touch with the revolutionary nature of the cross. Most christians have been taught a reduced message that the death of Jesus was all about "God saves me from my 'sin' so that I could 'go to heaven'." According to the author, this version misconstrues why Jesus has to die, the nature of our sins, and what our mission is in the world today. In his paradigm-shifting book, Surprised by Hope, the author showed that the Bible's message is not that heaven is where we go in the future; rather, the Bible sees the primary movement as heaven coming down to earth, redeeming the world, beginning now. In this companion book, the author shows how Christianity' central story tells how this revolution began on a Friday afternoon two thousand years ago and continues now through the church's work today. The author seeks to wake up the church to its own story, to invite us to join in Jesus's work of redeeming the world - to join his revolution.
