Saving Jesus from the Church

How to Stop Worshiping Christ and Start Following Jesus

Talking Points

Meyers’ visibility continues to grow as an outspoken champion for liberal Christianity through media appearances and a robust lecture schedule. He is currently a candidate for the pulpit at Riverside Church in New York City. Meyers is becoming the go-to spokesperson for liberal causes with a groundswell of support from progressive Christians across the country. He is a fresh liberal voice and for the last 12 years, his sermons have been broadcast in Oklahoma on KOKC AM 1520 - the program has become the most listened to religious broadcast in the state.

Description

Christianity’s obsession with personal salvation must be abandoned and the purpose of religion needs to be re-imagined. Robin Meyers argues that the question for our time is not, what do I need to believe about Jesus to be saved, but what do I need to do now that I’ve heard the Sermon on the Mount?

This is not a call to the church to move to the far Left or to try something brand new. Rather, it is the recovery of something very old. Saving Jesus from the Church shows us what it means to be a Christian and how to follow Jesus’s teachings today, recasting core Christian concepts in modern, straightforward language.
