The Liberator (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Liberator (Zondervan)

The Liberator is a creative retelling of the life of Jesus by Rob Lacey, author of the word on the street. It was published by Zondervan in March 2006.

The Liberator tells the complete story of Jesus's life, using a blend of paraphrased scripture, tongue-in-cheek commentary, fictional newspaper interviews with major characters, and satirical ideas for not taking the teachings of Jesus seriously (called "Don't Like This?" notes). The heart of the book—the paraphrased scripture text—is based mainly on the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
