Understanding the Gospels: Authority, Disruption and Food

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

This insightful study of Jesus in the gospels combines scholarly analysis with down-to-earth wisdom to illuminate the revolutionary way Christ redefined honour, claimed authority, and built community through shared meals. Examining key passages and themes, the book reveals how Jesus upended the social hierarchies of his day by honouring the marginalised, demonstrating his authority through acts of service and sacrifice rather than force, and establishing a new kind of family that transcends class, ethnicity and status around the table. Both intellectually robust and immensely practical, this work challenges readers to follow Jesus' subversive example in their own lives and communities today. An eye-opening look at the Jesus of the gospels and his transformative vision for the church and world.
