Brian McLaren, the man that TIME magazine said 'could find a way for . . . Christians to march into the future despite their theological differences,' has penned his most unsettling and revolutionary book to date. In The Secret Message of Jesus, McLaren clears away the dust of two thousand years of the Christian religion to get to the most important questions facing Christendom: Could it be that the church has misunderstood or, in some cases, intentionally distorted Jesus' core message? What if Jesus was right, but right in different ways than Christians ever realized? What if many Christians have carried on a religion that somewhere along the way missed rich and radical treasures hidden in the essential message of Jesus of Nazareth? McLaren calls us to look hard, think deeply, and search long with him . . . even if the answers overturn conventional ideas, priorities, and practices.
