Vintage Jesus

Vintage Jesus, the newest book by Mark Driscoll, teaching pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, takes a detailed, Biblical look at who Jesus is.  This isn’t your average theology book though.  You will be surprised to find yourself not being able to put this book down.  Driscoll writes in a style that is hilarious, yet penetrating to the heart of the matter.  When you are done with the book, you will have a much clearer picture of who the Bible says Jesus is and will be able to decipher the misconceptions that world has about him.

 

 

From VintageJesus.net:

Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus was born in a dumpy, rural, hick town, not unlike those today where guys change their own oil, think pro wrestling is real, find women who chew tobacco sexy, and eat a lot of Hot Pockets with their uncle-daddy. Jesus’ mom was a poor, unwed teenage girl who was often mocked for claiming she conceived via the Holy Spirit. Most people thought she concocted the crazy story to cover the fact she was knocking boots with some guy in the backseat of a car at the prom. Jesus was adopted by a simple carpenter named Joseph and spent the first thirty years of his life in obscurity, swinging a hammer with his dad.

In Vintage Jesus, one of America’s most influential young pastors teams up with a seasoned theologian to lead you on a hilarious theological journey chasing Jesus through Scripture and pop culture. The authors provide timeless answers to twelve timely questions about the most important man who has ever lived. Each chapter concludes with answers to common questions about each subject.
