Deleting Jesus: Recovering Discipleship in the Wake of 2016

By Brent David Miller

That's Not Jesus If you ask people what a 'Christian' is, you may well be met with a list of troublesome words like bigoted, fearful, and hypocritical, to name but a few. Too many Christians have cultivated this image for too long. The situation was hardly improved by the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, when many supposed Jesus followers made a Faustian bargain for power in exchange for their reputations and souls. The result has been to confuse people further as to both who Christians are and who Jesus is. This book is a cry to a confused world that those who have created such a state of affairs do not represent the real Jesus. Deleting Jesus is an examination of both who Jesus is and what he asked his followers to be. Through a study of the words and actions of Jesus, the witness of the New Testament, and the writings of early Christians, pastor and author Brent David Miller contrasts the Christianity of the early Church with the counterfeit version so prevalent today, and issues a call to follow the radical and loving way of Christ. In this book you will discover the teachings of Jesus and the early Church on such topics as power, politics, enemy love, war, the proper use of wealth, the treatment of refugees and immigrants, racism, and the life of discipleship. Whether you are a believer stuck in the trenches of American pop Christianity, or a non-believer who is turned off by the antics of the so-called Christians around you, prepare to have your perspective rocked. Prepare to discover the real Jesus.
