Once the darling of conservative Catholicism and evangelicalism, the
outspoken broadcaster and journalist Michael Coren had what he terms
as a profound conversion and began embracing the issues he had
previously judged. It cost him his lucrative broadcasting career and
made him the target of vitriol, but he found freedom in the radical
and progressive nature of the gospel and is today its champion. In The
Rebel Christ he explores what Jesus said about the pressing issues of
his and our day. Jesus may not have mentioned sexuality, but welcomed
outsiders and the marginalized; he never spoke of social security
systems, but did criticize the wealthy and complacent and called for
the poor to be protected; he didn’t side with the powerful but did
condemn those who judged and exploited others and turned their eyes
away from those in need and from the cry for justice. This was Jesus
the rebel, Christ the radical, who turned the world upside down and
who today demands that his followers do the same.
