In the 16th chapter of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus asks his disciples "Who do you say that I am?"

Over the course of the past two millennia, countless answers have been given to that question. In our own time, as fascism surges throughout the globe, the name of Jesus is often lingering on the lips of those most ardently engaged in works of injustice and oppression. Others, imaginations empowered by the words and deeds of Jesus, struggle to resist oppression as they strive to build the beloved community. And, indeed, others still avoid such things, while cherishing Jesus as a balm.

The question remains as pressing as when Jesus first asked it: Who do you say that I am?

To explore the radical implications of what Jesus did and who Jesus is, one person will receive nine books, each exploring the life and work of Jesus.
