About this title

Synopsis

This 7 session study focuses on Jesus as a revolutionary figure and change agent, both in his own context and in ours and will help adults understand the radical nature of Jesus’ ministry for and among all people, including the “outcast,” and how Jesus models for us a ministry that challenges and pushes the limits.
