Praise for The Other Jesus
“Clear, provocative, and sympathetic, this book opens fresh windows for the imagination and fresh perspectives on the figure of Jesus as the one on whom all our human hopes for joy and reconciliation can converge.”
—Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
“With all the customary grace and conversational style his readers have come to expect from him, Garrett delivers again. And what he delivers is a kind of “lover’s portrait” of the Jesus he finds in Scripture, in prayer, and in personal experience. The resulting, multi-toned portrait is both powerfully persuasive and a delight for the mind and the soul to consider.”
—Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence and The Divine Hours
“A story worth telling. The clearly presented themes, questions for reflection, and resources for further study in each chapter make this an utterly accessible book that will be helpful to students and seekers alike.”
—Dr. Jim Somerville, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Richmond, Virginia
“Reading The Other Jesus is a bit like clearing the mud from your eyes and seeing our Lord and Savior again for the first time. Your heart expands with gratitude as each chapter unfolds. I love this book!”
—Chris Seay, Pastor, speaker, and author of The Gospel according to Jesus
“Greg Garrett brings a teacher’s sensibility to his book on the life and teachings of Jesus. In an age when readers are too often forced to choose between complexity and simplicity, Garrett demonstrates an uncanny ability to make the complex, clear. His new book brings the good and glad news alive.”
—Rev. Dr. Roger A. Paynter, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Austin, Texas
Praise for Greg Garrett’s previous works:
“Greg Garrett is both a gifted writer and a deeply thoughtful follower of Christ. Whenever I read his work, I find a rare and moving mix of honesty—sometimes painful honesty—and tested hope, each made more vulnerable by the other.”
—Brian D. McLaren, activist and author of A New Kind of Christian, A Generous Orthodoxy, and Everything Must Change
