The way of the world today may make you think that vengeance and violence and power are acceptable elements of the Christian life, our faith, and grace. But the message of Jesus differers radically, and Brian Zahnd brings an in-depth study of peace in the Scriptures.

Review of 'A farewell to Mars' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Take one part NT Wright's work on the Kingdom of God, one part Richard Beck's thoughts on scapegoats, add in a few questionable interpretations of some of Jesus' parables, avoid questions about how the personal view interacts with the political view/necessity of violence, and you have this book. Well intentioned but ultimately lacking.
