Jesus Wants to Save Christians: Learning to Read a Dangerous Book

The New York Times–bestselling author of Love Wins reveals how justice is the key to biblical teaching—and to the answers we seek in our faith today.

The New York Times has called Rob Bell “one of the country’s most influential evangelical pastors.” In Jesus Wants to Save Christians, he teams up with Dan Golden, Christian activist and vice president of World Relief, to offer a refreshingly simple yet provocative new perspective on the Bible. By following the common thread of justice woven through the fabric of biblical history, the whole Bible becomes much clearer.

Justice is the issue when God redeems Israel from Pharaoh. Justice is at the heart of the Sinai law and justice is what Israel must show the world as a kingdom of priests. Justice is the measure the Jews failed to meet in their days of power and empire in Jerusalem. It was justice the prophets proclaimed as the way of return during the exile of the Jews in Babylon and it was justice that Jesus incarnated.
