From the Back Cover
What is Jesus' role in the 21st century "post-Christian" world? Author Alex McManus offers an answer sure to get people talking.
According to McManus, contrary to popular opinion, Jesus Christ came neither to teach Christianity nor to establish a religion—at least as "Christianity" and "religion" are commonly understood. He came to make the world human again. The goal of the life and teaching of Jesus is to reconnect us with the human future God is creating and to enlist our willing participation. What Jesus wants for all people—whether religious or secular, Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative—is that they turn away from destructive, non life-giving systems and join him in the quest to "take back the future" for humanity.
This first book from McManus seeks to:
• Strengthen the message of the 21st century church
• Reach Christians outside traditional evangelicalism
• Include the questions non-Christian seekers have about God
