…on my spiritual evolution, historical research, some startling
discoveries, and on hanging out in brewpubs with friends.
Many of us are introduced to Jesus at a young age and the version of him we initially encounter is quite often an incomplete version of the historical figure. In this volume, you’ll read a variety of perspectives on Jesus from authors, academics, theologians, mystics, pastors, musicians, and even a former reality TV star and Muslim scholar.
Featuring contributions by: Gregory Boyd, Michael Camp, Zac Cannon, Melissa Denyce, Matthew J. Distefano, Martha Elias Downey, Maria Francesca French, Safi Kaskas, Matthew J. Korpman, Leslie Nease, Brandan Robertson, Nora Sophia, Angie Von Slaughter, and a preface by Katy Valentine.

What if the modern American church has its Christian history wrong?
“Wonderfully enlightening and refreshing!
I admit it was a slow start for me. I became worried about it being too "liberal." I was wrong. This gem is exactly what I needed, an excellent history lesson in the history of Christianity.”
~ Amazon Reviewer

~ Michael Hardin

“If you are at a crossroads of faith and are troubled by some of the doctrines and ideologies you have been taught, and find yourself detached and disenfranchised… then please give careful consideration to reading "Confessions…" You won't be disappointed.” ~ Amazon Reviewer

Camp's book marks an important milestone… I recommend this book! ~ Frank Schaeffer
"An important book for both conservative and progressive Christians. Much of it reads like a novel while being highly instructive." -Marcus Borg
