Radical Jesus: A Graphic History of Faith - Tapa blanda

"More important than the Dead Sea Scrolls."

"The greatest radical story ever told! Read this graphic novel and spite the devil!"

"Dramatizes faith in action, from the ministry of Jesus to contemporary social movements. Richly informative and beautifully drawn."

"The artists and writers of this collected history have planted a seed that blossoms on every page."

"I've been waiting for a book like this: it connects the dots between the words of Jesus and the struggle for justice here and now."

"A powerful, open antidote to the dead ends of late capitalism: growing inequality, permanent war, and savage attacks on the poor and vulnerable."

"The powers that be prefer a Jesus who sits in paintings with peaceful lambs, reassuring us that there's life after death. Radical Jesus shows us a life that challenges death here and now."

"A dynamic, enlightening history of faith."

"Brings the provocative message of Christ to life, revealing a Jesus who not only died for our sins, but showed us a subversive way to live."

"The evocative images depict the agonies and joys of radical Christian discipleship. [Jesus'] moral vision points us away from violence and passivity toward a third way of radical love for the other."

A compelling, graphical rendition, Radical Jesus tells the story of Jesus and his social message, not just in his own time, but also through the Radical Reformation, recent centuries, and our own time.

Featuring illustration by industry standouts Sabrina Jones, Gary Dumm, and Nick Thorkelson, Radical Jesus offers a fresh and inspiring look at basic Christian concepts and social justice themes from the life of Jesus onward. Readers will be drawn into stories from scripture, the Radical Reformation, and peacemaking efforts today in Iraq and Colombia, among others.
