This learned, highly personal, and blunt devotional commentary on selected passages in the four gospels is intended for both devotional and educational purposes. It showcases a number of archetypal images of Jesus found in the gospels, including Jesus as Wildman; Jesus as feminine man; Jesus as wounded healer; Jesus as fiery prophet; and Jesus as Trickster. Contemporary readers, churched and unchurched, will find The Gospels with Salt very informative and stimulating.
