Resumen del Editor
Have you ever struggled to reconcile Jesus’s commands to not resist evil, turn the other cheek, and love your enemies with his use of a whip to clear the temple, his praise for the Roman centurion, his command to the disciples to buy swords, and his frequent warnings of violent judgment, not to mention Revelation’s prophecy that he will eventually return to kill God’s enemies with a sword?
In Jesus the Pacifist, Fleischer provides a systematic, biblically based, and comprehensive overview of Jesus’s relationship with violence, one that may forever change how you view his ministry and your calling.

In The Day the Revolution Began, N. T. Wright once again challenges commonly held Christian beliefs, as he did in Surprised by Hope. Demonstrating the rigorous intellect and breathtaking knowledge that have long defined his work, Wright argues that Jesus' death on the cross was not only to absolve us of our sins, it was actually the beginning of a revolution commissioning the Christian faithful to a new vocation - a royal priesthood responsible for restoring and reconciling all of God's creation.

This book answers foundational questions: Who wrote the Bible? What is its message? Why is it thought to be a 'holy' book? How does one read and interpret it? Best of all, though, you'll broaden your vision of Jesus Christ, the focal point of Scripture. How? By better understanding the geographical, religious, and historical concerns that shaped the world in which he lived.

Historia
Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that mission is bigger than that - there is in fact a missional basis for the Bible. The entire Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need a missional hermeneutic of the Bible, an interpretive perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see the "big picture" of God's mission and how the familiar bits and pieces fit into the grand narrative of Scripture.

Historia
Best-selling author John MacArthur gives readers a fresh look at how Jesus addressed attacks against the truth. Meek and mild. Politically correct. A great teacher. These are the popular depictions of Jesus. But they aren't the complete picture. Maybe because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because it's inconvenient, Christians and non-Christians alike are overlooking the fierceness of the Savior, His passionate mission to make the Gospel clear and bring people into the Kingdom of God.

Historia
Paul is second only to Jesus as the most important person in the birth of Christianity, and yet he continues to be controversial, even among Christians. How could the letters of Paul be used both to inspire radical grace and to endorse systems of oppression - condoning slavery, subordinating women, condemning homosexual behavior? Borg and Crossan use the best of biblical and historical scholarship to explain the reasons for Paul's mixed reputation and reveal to us what scholars have known for decades: The later letters of Paul were created by the early church to dilute Paul's message.

Who is Satan in the New Testament, and what is the evil that he represents? In this groundbreaking book, Elaine Pagels, Princeton's distinguished historian of religion, traces the evolution of Satan from its origins in the Hebrew Bible, where Satan is at first merely obstructive, to the New Testament, where Satan becomes the Prince of Darkness, the bitter enemy of God and man, evil incarnate. In The Origin of Satan, Pagels shows that the four Christian gospels tell two very different stories.

In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable.

How did violence and power seep into our understanding of faith and grace? For those troubled by this trend toward the sword, perhaps there is a better way. What if the message of Jesus differs radically from the drumbeats of war we hear all around us? Using his own journey from war crier to peacemaker and his in-depth study of peace in the Scriptures, author and pastor Brian Zahnd reintroduces us to the gospel of peace.

Right now, Truth is under attack, and much is at stake. Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts, and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether. As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth!

Many Christians mistakenly believe that their only choice is either to reconcile themselves to a fundamentalist reading of scripture (a "literal-factual" approach) or to simply reject the Bible as something that could bring meaning and value into their lives. In Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg shows how instead we can freshly appreciate all the essential elements of the Old and New Testaments - from Genesis to Revelation - in a way that can open up a new world of intelligent faith.

Historia
The Old Testament is one of the most carefully studied books in the world’s history. It is also one of the most misunderstood. This founding text of the world’s three largest religions is also, Erich Fromm argues, an impressive radical humanist text. He sees the stories of mankind’s transition from divided clans to united brotherhood as a tribute to the human power to overcome. Filled with hopeful symbolism, You Shall Be as Gods shows how the Old Testament and its tradition is an inspiring ode to human potential.

Not 50 causes, but 50 purposes - in answer to the most important question that each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to die?

This is an excellent book. He perfectly picks off the few odd verses that are used to try to make Jesus approve of violence.

Jesus Christ, Pacifism, and the Denial of Consciousness
I started this book with the understanding that I likely would find the author’s arguments convincing but would, in the end, shrug my shoulders at the idea of Pacifism. Pacifism, sadly, has always revolted me and the author does not shy from speaking directly to readers like me. In fact, he announces a forthcoming book discussing some of the most common reasons why many of us rebel against pure Pacifism as a way to live.
Listening to the book, I began to question why I dislike Pacifism so viscerally, why it feels wrong, foolish even. I switched frames, or lenses through which I tried to question myself or discount any burden I felt to truly entertain Pacifism as a serious ethic, a multitude of times. Christianity is just one religion among thousands, maybe more, that have existed throughout human (and our precursors) history. Christianity is a relatively new religion in human history. Academic, textual analysis that modern Christian’s use to approach the Bible is misused, treating the pre-modern mind as if they wrote with similar intentions as modern writers. The Bible is not the infallible word of God but rather a collection of writings decided upon by some dudes at a conference. These considerations, I’ve only articulated a few, regarding the validity and authority of the Bible made it easy to listen to the book without much conviction that there was something serious to consider in the author’s arguments. However, with my misplaced confidence secure, I let my mind wonder to another set of considerations.
Pacifism feels immoral to me. It’s simple to pull from history any number of horrible events that could have been prevented with some well-placed violence. Angrily, I thought that Jesus’ Pacifist paradise will be built upon an infinitely large pile of innocent children’s bones from wars, sacrifices, and more (I’m being dramatic, I’ll admit). I know a Pacifist, or someone that espouses Pacifist views, and I recalled an instance where this gentleman expressed admiration for Rip Wheeler, a violent character in the television series Yellowstone. Rip represents an idealized version of manhood and follows a fairly typical Archetypal construction (Archetypes as described in Jung’s Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious), albeit with some twists: tragic childhood (orphan), mythical god-like father (the patriarch of the Dutton family), a heroic initiation rite (sadly having to kill his own father who had just murdered his mom and brother), loyalty to the point of self-sacrifice, loving only one woman, and the capacity to inflict decisive, well-timed violence to accomplish some positive end.
Why does Rip appeal even to a pacifist? Why do men and women across the country, representing various ages, races, social strata, and religions all look at this character and come to the conclusion that this character represents the pinnacle of masculinity? Why do the archetypes embedded in the collective unconscious of humanity cause us demand that men be capable of violence? These questions led me to ask one more question: where do the archetypes embedded in our consciousness come from?
Original sin, in my opinion—an opinion formed from reading so many others that I hesitate to write this sentence for fear that someone may think I would ever claim to come to this conclusion on my own—is consciousness. Paraphrasing Jordan Peterson, when humans became self-aware, they learned what could hurt them and, in turn, learned how to hurt others. Following human consciousness, humans had the capacity to work towards self-preservation purposefully. This purposeful protection of yourself and your closest kin could only lead to purposeful construction of ways to prevent others from hurting you, could only lead to purposeful construction of ways to prevent and inflict violence.
Enter Jesus Christ. The author, over and over, points to scriptures where Jesus told us to deny our innate desires, deny our instincts, deny the inevitable result of original sin, of consciousness and self-awareness. Pick up your cross, turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, refrain from revenge. Jesus’ instructions and the lessons taken from looking at his life, made clear by the author, is to rationally and purposefully choose to ignore the instincts built inside of you over the course of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and instead to make peace wherever and whenever possible even as you are led to your death by those who oppose it.
Jesus told his disciples, and anyone else who would listen, that the Kingdom of Heaven is difficult to enter. It is a narrow path, one that few choose to take. The author convinced me that to be a Christian, to be Christ-like, is to be a Pacifist. And, my conclusion is that this is nearly impossible for me, that I am no where near the man I would need to be to truly follow Christ. The image of Christ is not stamped deep on my heart, like an old hymn I used to sing, begs it to be.

Excellent reflection of the words and actions of Jesus in consideration of Christian non-violence
Fleischer makes and thoughtful and thorough argument for Christian non-violence by examining the actions and words of Christianity’s most important figure. He carefully considers some of the common arguments that Christian’s use to justify violence and holds those arguments up to scripture. I appreciated his use of different hermeneutical understandings of scripture. He did not simply limit his argument to his own preferred interpretation of scripture (in fact he doesn’t disclose a preferred interpretation), but instead makes his argument including multiple ways people understand the text. It would be difficult to read this book with an open mind and not at least be convicted if not convinced that non-violence is the way of Jesus.
