Jesus taught with parables and stories: the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, the Mustard Seed, etc. We’ve all heard them. Ministers and priests have used them to teach us about God, forgiveness and love for centuries, but do we really understand them? Do we understand them the way that Jesus meant us to understand them? If they were that easy to understand, then why did Jesus have to take his disciples apart and explain their meanings to them?

"The Disciples Prayer: The Prayer Jesus Taught in its Historical Setting". Christians around the world recite the "Lord's Prayer" daily, but what exactly are they praying for—and what did it mean to Jesus in his own time? Jesus did not mean to teach a unique understanding of God; the prayer had its roots in first-century Jewish movements of protest. The prayer had little to do with "calling down" into the present realities of "the age to come." Rather, it was meant to protect disciples from the temptations of their age and, thus, to strengthen their countercultural testimony. Gibson's conclusions offer new insights into the historical Jesus and the movement he sought to establish.

Killing from the Inside Out: Moral Injury and Just War. It is a book about “Just War” and our damaged warriors that come back from them; but here is what grabbed my interest, over half of his book deals with Jesus’ philosophy of non-violence and how he might react to the world in which we find ourselves today. If you have thought about the violence in the world, and passed judgment, one way or another, then I highly recommend that you tune in as I try to get inside our author’s mind. Our conversations were so powerful for me that I couldn't let him go. He and I continued for quite a while after I finished the interview.
