About this ebook

Do you have any idea who Jesus really is?

“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur.

This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Our view of Jesus affects the way we view God, the world, ourselves, and every one of our decisions.

These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. Until now.

Like an investigative journalist on a mission, best-selling author and teacher John MacArthur walks through the gospel records and shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of the Jesus you can’t ignore.

Ratings and reviews

John MacArthur has a bone to pick…with seeker-sensitive congregations, with Emergent Christians, with believers who emphasize orthopraxy at the expense of orthodoxy. However, I sense that the author has missed one important point: Jesus’ strongest attacks were against the religious leaders of his day. The author himself may be railing against the specks in others’ eyes while ignoring the plank in the orthodox church’s eye. Despite these misgivings, MacArthur’s expositions on Jesus’ hard teachings are compelling and convincing. If you would like a well-researched, compelling argument against the frequent application of “cultural sensitivity” in Christian circles today, then I highly recommend this book. [Full disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.]
