According to recent surveys, many Americans associate the label 'Christian' with judgmental attitudes, hypocrisy, and a commitment to right-wing politics. In The Other Jesus, Greg Garrett suggests another way, arguing that a faith that focuses solely on personal morality and the afterlife misses much of the point of Jesus' message. Personal and moving, this book relates the author's personal experience of growing up in--and leaving--a disapproving conservative church and then finding his way back to a different kind of Christian community, which is communal, missional, just, and loving.
