The Good News According to Jesus

Dr Blosser takes us for a walk with Jesus and allows Jesus to speak for himself. What we hear is a message of hope that stands in striking contrast to the current popular Christian message that tells us Jesus came to die on the cross. This message of New Life is important news and needs to be heard by everyone who is serious about following Jesus.- Dr J. Denny Weaver Prof. of Religion Bluffton University (ret) author of The NonViolent Atonement and the Nonviolent GodDon Blosser has done an amazing job moving the needle on our beliefs about Jesus death and resurrection. In a fresh and accessible way he carefully insists that Jesus death was not ordered to appease Gods wrath but instead as Jesus righteous response to evil and human sin. This interpretation may shake some people but it will be warmly welcomed by the many others who have gotten stuck on an inherited substitutionary atonement theory which seems to deny the loving character of God.- Dr. Linda Mercandante PhD (Rev) Distinguished Research Professor Theology & Culture Methodist Theological School in Ohio
