In The Scandalous Gospel of Jesus, Peter Gomes, bestselling author of The Good Book, focuses on the Bible and why its message is just as relevant today as it was when first preached. Gomes, minister of Harvard University's Memorial Church, argues that in today's Christianity, excessive focus on the Scriptures and insistence on adherence to doctrine have led the Church astray. In order to recover the transformative power of the gospel, we must learn to hear anew the radical nature of Jesus's message of hope and change.

Peter J. Gomes, an American Baptist minister, has been minister of Harvard University's Memorial Church since 1974, when he was appointed Pusey Minister of the church, and Plummer Professor of Christian Morals. Professor Gomes was presented with the Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Award by Harvard University in 2001 and with the Preston N. Williams Black Alumni/ae Award by Harvard Divinity School in 2006. He is the recipient of 33 honorary degrees, and is an Honorary Fellow of Emmanuel College, the University of Cambridge, England, where the Gomes Lectureship is established in his name.

" This] book offers a generosity of spirit, communion and wisdom."

Men’s Casual Linen Blazer – Halloween Edition
Size: Small, Color: Light Blue, Size: Small, Color: Light Blue
Bought this for my 15-year-old daughter’s Halloween costume—she was the blue tux half of Dumb and Dumber and absolutely nailed it. The blazer looked exactly like the photo and totally completed her look. She’s 5’0” and 95 lbs, so the smallest size was still oversized (as expected for a men’s cut), but it worked perfectly for the costume’s vibe. Quality was solid for the price, and it held up through a night of candy, chaos, and photo ops. Verdict: Not tailored for petite teens, but if you’re going for comedic flair or costume gold, it’s a win.

Nice sport coat
Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
The quality is good but the beige color had a pinkish tone to it that I didn’t care for so it was returned. It’s a nice sport coat otherwise for the price! My husband wears a 42 long but the XL fit well.

I wasn’t expecting much for about $50
Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue
I was in a hurry from for a casual dinner jacket for a Caribbean cruise with my 11 year old this week. I wasn’t gonna be picky. 1) it looks like 70’s leisure suit material 2) what looks like lint are little bits of white polyester thread. When picked off one of said pieces of lint, this picture with the long thread happened 3) it came folded in a manner you should not fold a jacket. 4) Its 19% linen 1% cotton but it looks 0% natural materials 5) A 40R fits me well and I’ll not be able to button this size M, it’s too small for me. It will work unbuttoned 6) I’d return if I had an option. It’s low stakes, I’ll wear it twice and never again. 7) The pictures in the ad are fair, just look at all of them, not just the first one. Overall I don’t think it should be marketed as linen.
