Jesus the Stranger

This engaging work, Jesus the Stranger: The Man from Galilee and the Light of the World, invites the reader to see Jesus in a new way-one that focuses on his humanity, especially in terms of his su?ering, rejection, and ostracism by numerous oppositional characters and groups drawn from the pages of the Gospels. From hometown folk to family members, from religious leaders to those who will ultimately seek his death, what emerges from this new vista is a more humane and approachable Jesus, one who can commiserate with the pain and sorrow of our own lives and one who can o?er rich and abundant healing, the healing of holy love.
