Jesus on Death Row: An Adaptation of the Gospel of Matthew

I was in prison and you visited me. The words of Jesus in Matthew 25:36 call all imaginations to go deeper. What if God really is in prison? What if God was on death row? What would the life of Jesus look like? Jesus on Death Row is a contemporary interaction with the Gospel of Mark that seeks to answer these questions by placing the drama of the life of Jesus on death row in Texas. In the pages of this text I hope you discover the God who exists with those we have exiled and rejected. The Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood is a Baptist pastor theologian and activist presently living and working in North Texas. Dr. Hood maintains a close friendship with Texas death row inmate Will Speer. A consistent wrier Dr. Hood is the author of multiple books including The Queer: An Interaction with the Gospel of John The Queering of an American Evangelical The Sociopathic Jesus and The Year of the Queer.
