What does Jesus say and do within the narrative worlds of the New Testament gospels that, through the ages, enabled innumerable gory horrors and immense systemic violence to be perpetrated with his presumed permission? That is the question driving this book. Its compound title, Jesusviolence, simultaneously denotes: first, the violence inflicted on the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; second, the violence enacted by the gospel Jesuses in their narrative worlds; and third, certain of the violence enacted in Jesus's name in our histories and worlds.

In an age of growing skepticism, many demand hard evidence before believing anything is true—especially when it comes to Jesus and the Bible. A kind of "artifacts or it didn't happen" attitude. Perhaps nowhere is this attitude more prevalent than when considering the claims of Christianity...

As far back as the beginning of time and within every major culture of the ancient world, the astonishingly consistent story is told of gods who descended from heaven and materialized in bodies of flesh. From Rome to Greece and before that, to Egypt, Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumer the earliest records of civilization tell of the era when powerful beings known to the Hebrews as Watchers and in the book of Genesis as the b'nai ha Elohim ('sons of God') mingled themselves with humans, giving birth to part-celestial, part-terrestrial hybrids known as 'Nephilim.'

From the beginning of time, humankind has tried to make sense of the world around them. Many of the world's religions, especially those which claim the Christian faith, say we were formed in the image of God. But what if we’ve assigned traits and characteristics to the being we call God that He never possessed and remade him in our image? Is it possible that He never wanted to be a god in the first place?

It has been said and rightly so that the greatest problem with the Christian church throughout the centuries has been an identity crisis—we are not sure who we are. The church as an institution is inseparable from western culture, and yet a true theological, biblical, and prophetic understanding of the church is all too often beyond our understanding. Who we are. Why are we here. What our place is in history. These questions few Christians seem to understand. And yet an understanding of these matters is among the highest, most joyful, and glorious of all human ideas.

Nicholas Herman was born around 1610 in Herimenil, Lorraine, a Duchy of France. As a young man, he was injured as a soldier in the Thirty Years War, sustaining a near-fatal injury which left him in chronic pain and crippled for the rest of his life. After some time as a civil servant, he entered a new monastery in Paris and became known as Brother Lawrence. It was there that he spent the rest of his life, discovering and following a simple and straightforward way to continually consider God’s presence.

Many depictions of Jesus show him as a character who coolly and calmly floats above the grit and grime of human existence. He doesn't hurt, he doesn't fear, he doesn’t laugh and, most tragically, he doesn’t love very passionately. He seems not to feel at all. But a closer look at the Bible reveals something surprisingly different.

How should the church relate to the world? Nearly everyone agrees that the church should be making this world better, but we keep clashing about how to do so. We all want God’s will to be done on earth as in heaven, but deep disagreements about how to get there keep fracturing Christ’s body and tainting our testimony. Jesus was right: our witness to the world depends on our unity and our love for one another. In recent years, we've been failing at both. Political partisanship and constant infighting have wounded the vulnerable and driven countless people from the pews.

Del padre Pío a Carlo Acutis, pasando por nombres imprescindibles, estas vidas demuestran que los santos también son imperfectos. Antes de ser venerados, muchos santos fueron cuestionados. ¿Qué hubo detrás de la fama, los milagros y las devociones? ¿Qué significa realmente ser santo? José María Zavala, autor de la novela El profeta, se adentra en la cara menos conocida de algunas de las figuras más influyentes de la Iglesia: persecuciones, dudas, escándalos, errores, campañas de descrédito y, en ocasiones, el golpe más doloroso: el ataque que llega desde dentro.
