Dangerous Jesus: Why the Only Thing More Risky than Getting Jesus Right Is Getting Jesus Wrong

by Kevin "KB" Burgess (Author)

No one was more dangerous than the Lord Jesus.From the moment He arrived on the scene, Jesus posed a threat to the unjust, a threat to the oppressors, and a threat to every semblance of authority wielded by the kingdom of darkness. He invaded the world with love for the forgotten, hope for the hopeless, and freedom for the bound. His ideas were disruptive, subversive, and scandalous to the world around Him.Jesus was so dangerous, the powers that be killed Him.Today, our generation is seeing a surge of people walking away from the Christian faith. But whats repelling people isnt Jesus; its that what is often propagated as mainstream Christianity is simply not worthy of His name.Jesus is the most admired figure in history. He is also the most ignored, weaponized, reinterpreted, and misappropriated figure in history. The question is . . . who do you think He is?In Dangerous Jesus, Kevin “KB” Burgess―award-winning rapper, podcaster, and international speaker―reintroduces us to the true Jesus, the one who poses a living threat to the status quo. Hes a threat to our division. Hes a threat to our rebellion. He is the kind of dangerous that is so infused with power from on high that nothing stays the same when He walks into the room. His love is so strong, its intoxicating. His truth is so good, it sets people free.We need to reconnect with this Jesus.We need to become a threat to the threats.We need to be dangerous.If youre ready to meet the real Jesus . . . If youre ready to join in the fight . . . If you want to make the church a genuine threat to evil once again . . . join KB in Dangerous Jesus and encounter the enemy-loving, world-changing, good-dangerous Savior.

In "Dangerous Jesus: Why the Only Thing More Risky than Getting Jesus Right Is Getting Jesus Wrong," Kevin "KB" Burgess presents a provocative and thought-provoking exploration of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Burgess argues that the traditional interpretations of Jesus' message have often sanitized and domesticated his radical teachings, resulting in a watered-down version of Christianity that fails to capture the essence of his revolutionary message.

Burgess draws upon historical, cultural, and biblical sources to paint a vivid picture of the first-century world in which Jesus lived and taught. He challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about Jesus' life, including his conflicts with religious authorities, his association with outcasts and sinners, and his ultimate crucifixion.

Through engaging storytelling and insightful analysis, Burgess unpacks the deeper meanings behind Jesus' parables, teachings, and miracles, revealing their subversive and countercultural nature. He argues that Jesus' message was a call to radical transformation, a challenge to the status quo, and a demand for justice for the oppressed.

Burgess also examines the ways in which Jesus' teachings have been distorted and misused throughout history, leading to oppression, violence, and division. He calls on readers to reclaim the true spirit of Jesus' message—a message of love, compassion, and liberation—and to apply its principles to the challenges of the 21st century.

"Dangerous Jesus" is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Jesus and his teachings. Burgess's thought-provoking insights and compelling narrative style make this book an essential resource for those interested in exploring the radical roots of Christianity and its relevance to contemporary life.
