Renders the story of Jesus in the language of the modern urban reader. This book examines the gospels of "Matthew", "Mark", and "Luke". It aims to take the message of the Scriptures into the 21st century.
The liberator is creative. It's colourful. It's the gospels as you've never read them. In this engaging new paraphrase, Rob Lacey, author of the award-winning work "The Word on the Street", renders the complete story of Jesus in the language of the modern urban reader. Using up-to-date dialogue and images, Lacey lends fresh perspective to what can be over-familiar stories and sayings. He digs deeply into the gospels of "Matthew", "Mark" and "Luke" and gives us the story of the Liberator without missing any bits out. Plus Rob's insightful, often humorous sidebar comments will cause you to think about the story in fresh new ways. For new and seasoned readers alike, "The Liberator" takes the message of the Scriptures into the 21st century to create the impact it had in the 1st century. It was voted the Book of the Year (2004), according to the Christian Booksellers Convention Ltd. (UK) and Borders' Best of 2004: Religion & Spirituality.
