The Little Book of Jesus: A New Vision of Jesus for Our Time

A Revolutionary Look at the Life and Teachings of Jesus

In her groundbreaking book, The Little Book of Jesus, Priya Hemenway offers a fresh and revolutionary perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, historical texts, and her own personal experiences, Hemenway presents a Jesus who is not only a wise teacher and a powerful healer, but also a radical social reformer and a champion of the poor and oppressed.

Jesus as a Revolutionary

Hemenway argues that Jesus was a revolutionary who challenged the status quo and sought to create a more just and equitable world. She points to Jesus' teachings on love, compassion, and forgiveness, as well as his actions in healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and welcoming the outcast, as evidence of his revolutionary spirit.

Jesus and the Poor

Hemenway also emphasizes Jesus' special concern for the poor and oppressed. She notes that Jesus was born into a poor family and that he spent much of his life ministering to the poor and marginalized. She argues that Jesus' message of hope and liberation is especially relevant for the poor and oppressed today.

Jesus and Women

Hemenway also explores Jesus' relationship with women. She argues that Jesus was a feminist who challenged the patriarchal norms of his time. She points to Jesus' interactions with women, such as his healing of the woman with the issue of blood and his conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, as evidence of his respect for women.

Jesus and the Kingdom of God

Hemenway concludes her book by discussing Jesus' teachings on the kingdom of God. She argues that the kingdom of God is not a place, but a state of being that is characterized by love, justice, and peace. She invites readers to join Jesus in creating the kingdom of God on earth.
