The Jesus heist : recovering the Gospel from the church / by Doyle, C. Andrew,author.(CARDINAL)351721;
Includes bibliographical references.The rabbit-hole -- One great fellowship -- The temple-rooted church -- Babylon tears -- The long tale -- Be on your way -- An invitation -- A table in the wilderness -- An uncomfortable nonsense -- Walking together -- Conversion -- The powers -- Christian Babel.Inside the Church, we are constantly and consistently reading the gospels through the lens of supporting our own institution and structure. This prevents us from hearing the critique Jesus offered in his own day and his emphatic and persistent call to be and do differently now (Matthew 23:112). Stories that will be covered include Widow's Mite, Rich Young Ruler, Destruction of the Temple, Searching for the Lost Coin, Sower of the Seeds, Transfiguration, and the Great Commission. This book will flip the script of many Bible stories, allowing us to hear Jesus' call to change as one that is directed at us rather than as one we should direct toward others.
