Perry's work would make an insightful read for anyone who wants to envision a kinder world or who has wrestled with the platitudes, prejudices, and injustices associated with contemporary faith. - IndieReader Review Robert Perry has given us a gift-a portrait of Jesus' teaching that is approachable yet rigorously argued, spiritually moving yet intellectually honest.-Brian Recker, Author of Hell BentPerry's lucid commentary, grounded in comprehensive research, evinces a solid understanding of the historical and theological scholarship of Jesus.... A sharp, provocative study that strips away centuries of dogma to reveal Jesus the teacher.- Kirkus Reviews Perry entices us to fresh engagement with what may be familiar texts and figures and challenges us to wrestle with them once again.- from the foreword by David Gushee, author of The Moral Teachings of Jesus.__________________________For centuries, Christians have focused on who Jesus was-Messiah, Son of God, Savior. But Jesus himself focused on something else: teaching people a radically new way to live.Drawing on decades of historical research, The Teacher reconstructs the central vision that unifies Jesus' sayings, parables, healings, crucifixion, and resurrection into a single coherent whole. It reveals a God whose love makes no distinctions, a kingdom that can be entered now, and a path that transforms both the human heart and the world.Whether you are a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about history, The Teacher invites you to encounter Jesus not primarily as an object of faith, but as one of history's greatest teachers-and to discover why recovering his original vision still matters today.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/88/660/245/188660245X_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.99", "online_price" : "17.99", "our_price" : "17.99", "club_price" : "17.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
