Dr Blosser takes us for a walk with Jesus and allows Jesus to speak for himself. What we hear is a message of hope that stands in striking contrast to the current popular Christian message that tells us Jesus came to die on the cross. This message of New Life is important news and needs to be heard by everyone who is serious about following Jesus.- Dr J. Denny Weaver, Prof. of Religion, Bluffton University (ret), author of "The NonViolent Atonement", and "the Nonviolent God" Don Blosser has done an amazing job moving the needle on our beliefs about Jesus' death and resurrection. In a fresh and accessible way, he carefully insists that Jesus' death was not ordered to appease God's wrath, but instead as Jesus' righteous response to evil and human sin. This interpretation may shake some people, but it will be warmly welcomed by the many others who have gotten stuck on an inherited substitutionary atonement theory which seems to deny the loving character of God.- Dr. Linda Mercandante, PhD (Rev), Distinguished Research Professor Theology & Culture, Methodist Theological School in Ohio
