Hardback. Condición: Good. In The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus, Peter Gomes, bestselling author of The Good Book, focuses on the Bible and why its message is just as relevant today as it was when first preached. Gomes, minister of Harvard University's Memorial Church, argues that in today's Christianity, excessive focus on the Scriptures and insistence on adherence to doctrine have led the Church astray. In order to recover the transformative power of the gospel, we must learn to hear anew the radical nature of Jesus's message of hope and change. Peter J. Gomes, an American Baptist minister, has been minister of Harvard University's Memorial Church since 1974, when he was appointed Pusey Minister of the church, and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals. Professor Gomes was presented with the Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Award by Harvard University in 2001 and with the Preston N. Williams Black Alumni/ae Award by Harvard Divinity School in 2006. He is the recipient of 33 honorary degrees, and is an Honorary Fellow of Emmanuel College, the University of Cambridge, England, where the Gomes Lectureship is established in his name."[This] book offers a generosity of spirit, communion and wisdom."- Washington Post.…
