The Radical Realism of Jesus explores how Christ’s life and teachings confront
the assumptions of our modern world. From rationalism and empiricism to pragmatism
and nihilism, Jesus’ words intersect with philosophy, science, and contemporary
culture—offering a lived, transformative faith that challenges, inspires, and equips
readers to live fully in the 21st century.
Read an Excerpt From the beginning, Jesus has consistently defied human expectations. He clashed
with religious authorities, challenged societal norms, and even surprised his own
disciples. Faith, as Kierkegaard emphasized, is a tension-filled encounter with the
unpredictable claim of God. Jesus does not allow us to tame Him with neat definitions;
He is the living Word who confronts our assumptions and stretches our understanding
of God and the world.
In a modern age defined by scientific revolutions, technological advancements, and
rationalist philosophies, many of us search for certainty, meaning, and moral guidance.
Yet, the Gospel remains disruptive. Jesus is not an abstract ideal; He is historical,
embodied, and relational. He experienced hunger, fatigue, betrayal, and hope. He
engaged life fully, showing that realism and spiritual depth are not mutually exclusive.
Even in a world governed by measurement, reason, and empiricism, Jesus challenges
us to consider ethics, purpose, and human flourishing in ways that transcend material
explanation.
This book examines Jesus within contemporary frameworks of thought—from
Rationalism and Empiricism to Pragmatism and Scientism—showing that His life and
teachings remain radically relevant. The Kingdom of God is not abstract; it demands
reflection, engagement, and action. Jesus remains aspirational and transformative,
inviting each reader to wrestle with faith, reason, and the meaning of life in a modern
context.
