The God Revolution: A Short Course in Christianity
Ebook
Overview
The God Revolution takes a fresh approach to the roots of Christianity. It asks the reader to explore and join a revolution in lifestyle and thought rooted both in a personal wager on God as the source of a meaningful hope and in the story of Jesus of Nazareth. This book invites us to see Jesus’ own Hebrew Bible something like the way he himself did. Then it turns our attention forward to the surprising impact Jesus had on those who followed him, how they reinvented the ancient world, and how we might reinvent ours. It is written for explorers, rather than those already weary of the form of religion they have known.
“Bruce Hamill’s The God Revolution is a
straightforward, learned, and readable introduction to what makes
Christianity so challenging, human violence so perennial, and
Jesus so weird. A wonderful resource.”
—Jason Goroncy, Whitley College, University of Divinity
“At last, a cringe-free introduction to Christianity! The God
Revolution is provocative, disarmingly honest, and deeply
inspiring. It rightly locates the problem of violence at the center
of our ethical quagmire, and it provides a succinct and crisp
exploration of how the Christian Scriptures undo our inclinations
to violence and call us to the way of peace. If you are interested
in learning about the Christian faith, this book is a great place
to start.”
—Philip Fountain, Victoria University of Wellington, New
Zealand
“If you are interested in Christianity but don’t know much about
it, this is a book for you. Bruce Hamill takes us to the heart of
the matter and demonstrates that there is much more intellectual
depth to Christian faith than the popular caricatures and
dismissals would have you believe. Highly recommended.”
—Murray Rae, University of Otago
