Throughout Jesus Wants to Save Christians, Rob Bell and Don Golden call into question a number of hot topics: the church and politics, a biblical view of the war in Iraq and what the body of Christ is supposed to look like.
By looking at the meta-narrative of Scripture and specifically the idea referred to as the “New Exodus perspective,” Bell and Golden hold nothing back as they challenge Christians to evaluate how we live and act. Could our churches and youth ministries actually be missing the point of what Jesus intended?
Keeping in step with Bell’s previous books, Jesus Wants to Save Christians is well-communicated, beautifully creative and very challenging. This book is a must-read for those in ministry as we think about how to communicate the theology of the church to the next generation.
