A popular-level theology book, introducing the person and work of Christ to those who are seeking answers to basic and pivotal questions.
Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus was born in a dumpy, rural town, not unlike those today where guys change their own oil, think pro wrestling is real and find women who chew tobacco sexy. Jesus' mom was a poor, unwed teenage girl who was often mocked for claiming she conceived via the Holy Spirit. Jesus was adopted by a simple carpenter named Joseph and spent the first thirty years of His life in obscurity, swinging a hammer with His dad.
In Vintage Jesus one of America's most in-fluential young pastors teams up with a seasoned theologian to lead readers on a theological journey chasing Jesus through Scripture and pop culture. The book provides timeless answers to twelve timely questions about the most important Man who has ever lived.

Some two thousand years after He walked the earth, Jesus Christ is still a hot topic. And for all the ridiculous, twisted, Da Vinci Code-esque conspiracy theories and lies about Jesus that have permeated pop culture and academics, the truth about His character, nature, and work has not changed. So what exactly is the truth about Jesus Christ? That's the question the authors of Vintage Jesus seek to answer by breaking it down into a number of sub-questions about Jesus.
