Peter J. Gomes, “The Scandalous gospel of Jesus”, Harper Collins, N.Y., N.Y., 2007.
“The problem of perception is at the heart of a serious hearing of what Jesus has to say, and most people are smart enough to recognize that their immediate self-interest is served not so much by Jesus and his teaching as by the church and its preaching. Thus, it is no accident that although Jesus came preaching a disturbing and redistributive gospel, we do not preach what Jesus preached. Instead, we preach Jesus.” P. 41.
