Saving Jesus from Those Who Are Right: Rethinking What It Means to Be Christian

In this theological resource for spiritual transformation and social change Carter Heyward rethinks the figure Jesus and his import for church academy and society. Rather than focus on the endlessly variable pictures of Jesus in contemporary biblical scholarship and in radical opposition to the Jesus of the Christian Right Heyward presents Jesus as our brother infused with a sacred power and passion for embodying right (mutual) relation and ourselves with him in this commitment. She goes on to explore concretely how we might live this way.
