Through Netgalley and Crossway, I am reviewing The Surprising Genius of Jesus:
When someone thinks of Jesus, "genius" is not likely to come to mind. Nevertheless, Jesus' teachings and interactions with others showed high levels of knowledge, insight, and verbal skill—demonstrating his genius.
The Surprising Genius of Jesus by Peter J. Williams illustrates the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus' teachings through the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15. Drawing on his knowledge of Jewish Scriptures, he used simple yet powerful stories to confront the Pharisees and scribes of his day. He points readers to who Jesus is and why that matters for them today, challenging those who question whether Jesus really is the origin of parables recorded in the Gospels.
I give The Surprising Genius of Jesus five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
