It’s Vintage

“Vintage Jesus”

by Mark Driscoll

What’s old becomes new again. Although some things never get old.

Mark Driscoll, from Seattle’s Mars Hill Church, unapologetically focuses on Jesus for this book (and preceeding sermon series). His aim was to show that Jesus Christ is as relevant today as he ever has been. There are 12 chapters that ask 12 questions about Jesus. All very common and important questions.

Driscoll enjoys taking on these questions. He tackles the conjecture the questions create head on. Lefty intellectuals look out.

It is a detailed book. The amount of detail is palatable but perhaps not for the brand new Christian. For them it might be a tad full on. Proceed with caution, read before giving it to a friend.

Driscoll pulls no punches. It’s all about Jesus. If it’s not about Jesus then we are just taking our eyes off the ball.
