Synopsis

Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, bestselling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism." In today's politically charged era, Christians on the progressive left as well as the conservative right both equate their particular viewpoints with the kingdom of God. Viola challenges and dismantles these perspectives, offering a fresh and revolutionary look at the gospel of the kingdom. Viola writes with gripping power, challenging Christians to embrace an unparalleled allegiance to Jesus Christ and his kingdom. This high-octane message is being reclaimed today, launching a spiritual insurgence.

Goodreads review by Aaron on October 09, 2018

For several years now I have been teaching the two broken gospels. One teaches a magic prayer we say that gets us into heaven when we die. There is no need in this gospel for a relationship with God. Jesus can be savior of one's life but need not be Lord. The other broken gospel leads to legalism. O......more

Goodreads review by Bren on June 12, 2018

What an amazing book! I've been following Frank Viola since before his seminal "Pagan Christianity," and this one is another instant theological classic. Here is a text that will challenge you to re-think the definition of the Gospel. Why did the early Christians set the world on fire, and how were......more

This is a phenomenal book! So deep and illuminating, but so easy to read. I like that the chapters are really short but they are all so eye-opening. I thought I understood the kingdom and the gospel until reading this. Getting copies for friends. I've joined the insurgence!......more
