Unconditional?

The Call of Jesus to Radical Forgiveness

By: Brian Zahnd

Narrated by: Jon Gauger

Should we always forgive? Is forgiveness always even possible? Does forgiveness enable evil? Does it sacrifice justice? Are there ANY limits? In a world where the ugliness of rage and retaliation are driving the story line, Unconditional? offers the beauty, reconciliation, and total restoration of forgiveness the way Jesus taught us to live it. More than just another biblical exposition, this audio book begins with the horror of the Holocaust as it explores what forgiveness means—and how far it should go—in the real world of murder, rape, child abuse, genocide, and other atrocities. With unusual honesty, compassion, and depth, Zahnd incorporates some of the most compelling and difficult thoughts on the subject from history’s writers, philosophers, and theologians—always returning to the example Jesus gave us with his life and his death.

The essence of Scripture

This seems an excellent articulation of the essential core of Jesus' aims and purpose and where all New Testament study should begin.

Excellent

Highlights the reconciling work of Christ on the cross and ultimately our part in bringing the kingdom of heaven here on Earth

Hope

He made the Bible relevant for today's world. It changes my mind set to have hope. With hope I am no longer crazy trying to figure things out in my mind.

Every Christian should read this book.

This book provides an eye-opening understanding on how every Christian should view the world. Forgiveness is possible and this book provides a plethora of examples of forgiveness offered in the most radical of circumstances. I hope to use this material for teaching in the future.

Another classic by Brian Zahnd gets to heart of what the Gospel is all about. The whole Bible should be read through the Jesus lens best found in the Beatitudes of Matthew 5.
