Was Jesus Christ a radical? Did he set an agenda that upset the established political, religious, and philosophical thought of his time? According to Chaplain Lieutenant Colonel Alvin E. Miller, the answer is yes, our Lord and Savior was indeed The Radical and Controversial Jesus. It is with this approach that Chaplain Miller encourages Christians in society to be radical agents of the Kingdom of God concerning its role in politics, religion, world events, and other social issues. Throughout, he cites the Bible and Christian thinkers from Martin Luther to Martin Luther King, Jr., to show how we, as Christians, must act as agents of this change without fear of retribution from those in power or expectation of immediate reward. Only then are we worthy of the radical and controversial legacy of Jesus.
