Know--and enact--the things that make for peace

This excellent book will speak to a large variety of audiences. It is highly accessible to lay readers but will also be enormously helpful to pastors, ministry professionals, etc. It is equally at home in a small group and in a seminary classroom: in fact, I plan on integrating this book into my Intro to Greek curriculum, as it so ably demonstrates the importance of good translation—but again, in a simple and accessible way. You could read this book in a weekend, but it is better read slowly, with time to consider its ideas, preferably with other people. I predict that readers will come away from this book changed, challenged, and well-equipped to not only "know the things that make for peace," but to enact them.

Eyeopening to Jesus the peacemaker

Fight Like Jesus is written in a very conversational style. It was very easy to read and I felt like the author was reading the book to me. My eyes were opened to Jesus being a peacemaker and not just a sacrificial lamb during holy week. I learned many new theological concepts that even my Masters of Divinity didn't cover.These concepts were in every day language which made them easy to grasp for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for both individuals and groups to study, especially as they prepare for holy week. The discussion questions for each chapter are very helpful. Be prepared to see Jesus through a different lens than you ever have before.

Brilliant: relevant, insightful and easy to read

The remarkable thing about Fight Like Jesus is that it's really well-researched and also well-written. So the result is a book that's a pleasure to read, while also full of new insights from top Biblical, historical and cultural scholars. Moreover, the topic is crucially important for the conflict-ridden but peace-promoting church, and for how we engage in the strife and violence of our beautiful but broken world. The first peace-making lesson Porterfield takes from Jesus is to move towards the conflict rather than avoid it. The places most lacking peace, are the places we need to go. This book is excellent material for reflection and learning, so that we can enter peace-less places and “fight like Jesus” for a better world. I've previously dabbled a bit in Christian peacebuilding studies, so I've been surprised by how much was new to me – Porterfield has woven together an impressive array of ideas and information, revealing stunning perspectives on Jesus and his way of bringing peace, all right there in the Gospels' texts of Holy Week.
