The Jesus I Never Knew

by Philip Yancey

According to Philip Yancey, "The Jesus I got to know in writing this book is very different from the Jesus I learned about in Sunday school. In some ways he is more comforting; in some ways more terrifying." And in this book, Yancey takes a look at Jesus in ways that many never have before-- and offers eye-opening insights that we so often take for granted. His goal is to "look at Jesus' life 'from below,' as a spectator, one of the many who followed him around." And by following Yancey on his journey, you will have an opportunity to learn much.

The Editors do not advocate everything taught by the authors of the books we review. Like us, these authors are fallible humans and those who choose to read these books should measure them by the bible, the one true standard.
