Jesus Unleashed: A New Vision of the Bold Confrontations of Christ and Why They Matter

Walk through the gospel records of the “bold confrontations” of Jesus and discover how to use your newfound knowledge of the person of Jesus to defend the biblical truth of the Christian faith.

“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Your view of Jesus affects the way you view God, the world, and every one of your decisions.

So often Jesus is portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. His boldness in the face of confrontation and why that matters. Until now.

Jesus Unleashed, abridged from John MacArthur's classic bestseller The Jesus You Can't Ignore, takes a revealing walk through the gospel records. Like an investigative journalist on a mission, MacArthur shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of Jesus unleashed, including:

• Jesus's bold and confrontational interactions with religious leaders, challenging the common perception of Him as solely gentle and meek. • The importance of understanding the full character of Jesus, including His authoritative and provocative nature in the face of those who distorted God’s truth. • The necessity of using Jesus's example to defend the truth of the Christian faith today against false teachings.

Jesus Unleashed highlights a neglected but vital aspect of who Jesus really was—a bold and powerful teacher who never shied away from confronting those who would warp God's truth for their own purposes. MacArthur reminds you of the importance of courageously following Jesus' example as you defend biblical truth against those who would distort it.
