What if the Gospels are more than a collection of teachings, parables, and miracles-what if they're a campaign playbook? If you've ever wondered where to look for guidance on following Jesus today, then this book is for you. In this chronological reconstruction of Jesus' life and messianic campaign, biblical scholar Dr. Tyson Putthoff gives readers a clear map of how Jesus lived, moved, and made decisions-showing us not only what he did, but how we might follow him today.
In this groundbreaking handbook, Jesus: The Strategic Life and Mission of the Messiah and His Movement, Volume 1, Dr. Putthoff reconstructs the mission of Jesus of Nazareth as a tactical campaign to overthrow the forces of Sin, Death, and Chaos and to establish the Empire of God on earth as in heaven.
Through 28 scenes divided into five campaign phases, this volume traces Jesus' key maneuvers-each decision, retreat, confrontation, and miracle reinterpreted through the lens of social, political, religious, and cosmic resistance.
Far from passive or predictable, Jesus emerges as a revolutionary leader whose brilliance lies not only in his divinity but in his calculated, prayer-driven, human strategy. Complete with maps, background insights, and strategic reflections, this volume helps readers engage the Gospels not just as history, but as a field manual for following Jesus the Messiah in real time.Whether you're a student, teacher, pastor, or seeker, this handbook will deepen your understanding and challenge you to follow Jesus-not only in belief, but in action.
