JIm FUlner reviewed Healing the gospel by Derek Flood
None
2 stars
I was disappointed by this book. Since I first heard of it I thought it would be great. I was under the impression I would get some good insight here into how to better witness to individuals who had been turned off of Jesus by the idea of the cross. Some better way to present the idea of "Jesus dying for our sins" to someone who felt that was pretty morbid. But this didn't give me that. Flood's book was just too deep for me I guess. I lot of differences between restorative justice and punitive justice. It probably matters to someone with a degree in Theology, but for this engineer Political Scientist it all looked the same to me. I had to keep looking up which one was which because my brain just doesn't work like that. Some interesting passages on the love of God, but not worth buying.
