예수 그리스도의 인격과 그분이 오신 목적을 제시하며 교회들의 현실상을 적나라하게 드러낸 이 책은 이 땅의 그리스도인들에게 근본적이면서도 급진적인 예수 그리스도의 복음을 따라 살라는 메시지를 전하고 있다. 저자는 그동안 복음이 얼마나 문화적인 취향에 맞게 변해왔는지 현대 문화 속의 교묘한 위험 인자들을 샅샅이 찾아내서 보여 주며 열린 마음으로 곰곰이 생각해보라고 말한다.

When Christians Get it Wrong
by Adam Hamilton
When young adults talk about the problems they have with Christianity and the church, they name attitudes and behaviors they believe are practiced too often by Christians: judging others, condemning people of other faiths, rejecting science, injecting politics into faith and being anti-homosexual. With his familiar style, Adam Hamilton tackles these issues and addresses the hows and whys of Christians getting it right when it comes to being Christ in the world.
