Description
Garry Wills presents a fresh reading of the gospels in this thought-provoking exploration of Jesus' teachings. He argues that Jesus' message was not about endorsing any particular political program, but rather about challenging power and promoting a radical vision of justice and equality. In "What Jesus Meant", Wills examines the meaning of Jesus' promise to bring the "reign of heaven" into this life, and how this understanding has been distorted over time. He seeks to uncover the true nature of Jesus' message, one that is both relevant to believers and nonbelievers alike. This book offers a nuanced analysis of Jesus' teachings, one that is both critically engaged with traditional interpretations and open to new insights.
