A Western Jesus: The Wayward Americanization of Christ and the Church

A Western Jesus looks at the western world’s tendency to read Scripture through the rose-colored glasses of a society that knows little persecution or sacrifice. Indeed, such a relatively easy lifestyle can turn one’s spirituality to matters of self-involvement or over-domesticate the transcendent Christ found in the Bible until one forgets what He’s truly all about.

Here is a book to answer the cry for authenticity being heard from today’s postmodern culture. Veteran pastor Mike Minter writes in A Western Jesus to those who have been insulted by religious hypocrisy, who have claimed the modern church lacks relevance or perhaps even abandoned the Christian faith. Meet the transcendent Christ who is so much more than a western Jesus.
