Jesus Shock: Encountering the Radical Christ of the Gospels

By Peter Kreeft

In a world where the name of Jesus is bandied about with reckless abandon, it is easy to forget who he really was. We have domesticated him, tamed him, made him safe for polite company. But the Jesus of the Gospels is anything but tame. He is a radical, a revolutionary, a provocateur. He is the one who said, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

This is the Jesus that Peter Kreeft introduces us to in his new book, Jesus Shock. Kreeft, a renowned author and philosopher, has spent a lifetime studying the Gospels, and he knows that the Jesus we meet there is not the gentle, inoffensive figure that we often imagine. He is a demanding God, a jealous God, a God who calls us to radical discipleship.

Kreeft does not shy away from the tough passages in the Gospels. He confronts them head-on, explaining their meaning and showing how they fit into the overall message of Jesus. He shows us a Jesus who is not afraid to offend, who is not interested in making himself popular, who is only interested in saving souls.

Jesus Shock is a challenging book, but it is also a deeply rewarding one. It will force you to confront your own beliefs about Jesus. It will make you question your assumptions. It will make you see the Gospels in a whole new light.

If you are ready to encounter the real Jesus, the radical Christ of the Gospels, then I urge you to read Jesus Shock. It will change your life.

Here are some of the topics that Kreeft explores in Jesus Shock:

• The scandal of the cross
• The hard sayings of Jesus
• The demands of discipleship
• The nature of sin

li> The reality of hell

• The hope of heaven

Kreeft writes with clarity, passion, and humor. He is a master of the Socratic method, and he uses it to great effect in Jesus Shock. He asks tough questions, and he forces the reader to think deeply about the answers.

If you are looking for a book that will challenge your faith, that will make you think, and that will ultimately draw you closer to Christ, then I highly recommend Jesus Shock.
