«O Que Jesus Realmente Quis Dizer» is the religious essay by Garry Wills, published by Lua de Papel in paperback (144 pages, in Portuguese).
The historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Garry Wills analyses the Gospels and Jesus's discourse to question literal and politicised readings of the Bible, which he says favour extremism. Against ecclesiastical orthodoxy, he proposes a faith that seeks understanding and presents a Jesus with a radically egalitarian message of love.
Originally published in English in 2006 as «What Jesus Meant»; this Portuguese edition is from 2008.
For readers interested in religion, theology and spirituality and in a critical, accessible look at the figure of Jesus.
Garry Wills is an American historian, author, and political philosopher. He has written on American history, politics, and religion, particularly the history of the Catholic Church. He won a Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 1993 for his book, Lincoln at Gettysburg.
