Summary of Brian Zahnd's Postcards from Babylon

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I had always believed in Jesus in a generic Christian way. I had been baptized when I was eight. I was familiar with the Bible stories and could even recite the sixty-six books of the Bible in order. But one day, Jesus crashed into my life.

#2 I was introduced to Jesus in a new way when I was seventeen. I began leading morning Bible studies in the high school gym and evening Bible studies in my parent’s basement. I had become the de facto pastor to a group of teenage disciples.

#3 The Jesus Movement was a spiritual movement that began among countercultural young people in California, and it eventually became significant enough to be featured on the cover of Time magazine. The center of the Jesus Movement in St. Joseph was the Catacombs, a Christian coffeehouse in the basement of a dive bar.

#4 The Jesus Movement also had a strong antiwar sentiment. While many Protestant and Catholic theologians had so nuanced the Sermon on the Mount that it had become pedestrian and prosaic, a group of long-haired Jesus freaks was realizing that the Sermon on the Mount was thrilling, demanding, and dangerous as dynamite.
