Invisible Jesus 
Zondervan Reflective, 2024
By Scot McKnight and Tommy Preson Phillips

WHO: Scot McKnight, a professor of the New Testament, and Tommy Preson Phillips, pastor at Watermark Church and a singer/songwriter.

THEY SAY: “Our prayer is that by listening to deconstructors and the disillusioned—those who are asking questions and raising challenges—we can begin to inspire a new generation of good shepherds.” 

THE BIG IDEA: If deconstructors are leaving their churches to look for Christ, then church leaders need to see if Jesus is at the center of their religion 

THE PROGRESSION: In 12 chapters, the authors look at what deconstructors are really saying and challenges readers to examine whether the faith they practice and the churches they belong to are really representative of Jesus.

“If we must be disruptive, let’s do it for Christ’s sake.”
