A Bold, Thought-Provoking Exploration of Christian Origins
Christianity: Gospel of Jesus vs Gospel of Paul by Gert Janse van Rensburg is a courageous, deeply personal, and extensively researched examination of the foundational teachings of Christianity. With over thirty years in ministry, the author brings a rare combination of pastoral experience, historical insight, and spiritual vulnerability to this groundbreaking work.
From the very first pages, the book grips readers with a dream sequence that poignantly symbolizes the inner conflict many believers face-the tension between personal authenticity and religious doctrine. What follows is not just a theological critique, but a journey of self-discovery and liberation from guilt-based religion toward the rediscovery of Jesus’ core message: God within.
Van Rensburg meticulously unpacks the contrasting messages of Jesus and Paul, offering a historical and scriptural investigation that is both accessible and intellectually rigorous. He challenges long-held assumptions with courage and humility, asking readers to reexamine not only the New Testament’s authorship but also the institutional forces that shaped Christian doctrine over centuries.
This book is not for the faint-hearted. It will stir strong reactions-some may feel deeply validated, others may be challenged to re-evaluate cherished beliefs. Yet, that is the mark of powerful writing: it moves, provokes, and invites transformation.
Christianity: Gospel of Jesus vs Gospel of Paul is a must-read for anyone willing to engage with faith on a deeper level. Whether you are a seeker, a lifelong Christian, a former believer, or a curious skeptic, this book will leave you thinking-and possibly awakening-to a gospel more aligned with love, truth, and freedom.
