WHS Gets Its First Review

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 by JEL

While What He Said has received some great early attention over at Amazon, we’ve been waiting for our first “official” feedback. Yesterday, it came from Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, environmentalist, author, educator, and active participant in the Methodist Church. Here’s what he had to say about the book:

What He Said is very well done and very useful. The Gospels are so deeply radical that we tend to encrust them in all kinds of tradition to avoid having to deal with those very deep commands to love your God and your neighbor. This reminds us powerfully of the centrality of that countercultural message.”
