Jihad of Jesus, The
the sacred nonviolent struggle for justice
By Dave Andrews
In a world torn by religious division and violence, Dave Andrews presents a transformative vision that challenges both Christians and Muslims to rediscover the peaceful heart of their faiths. This compelling exploration reveals how our religious traditions can become bridges rather than barriers, offering hope in an age of seemingly endless conflict.
Andrews demonstrates that the cycle of so-called holy wars is not an inevitable consequence of religious difference, but rather a tragic misunderstanding of authentic spiritual practice. At the center of his argument lies a radical reframing of two powerful concepts: jihad and Jesus. Rather than allowing extremists to define jihad as a call to violence, Andrews reclaims its true Quranic meaning as a sacred nonviolent struggle for justice. Similarly, he presents Jesus not as a symbol of Christian superiority, but as a gentle yet strong Messianic figure who can unite believers across faith boundaries.
The book illuminates how many Christians and Muslims already find common ground in their shared reverence for Isa (Jesus) and their celebration of God's mercy and compassion. Through practical guidance and inspiring examples, Andrews shows how open-hearted spirituality can transform religious understanding from a source of escalating conflict into a powerful resource for healing.
This handbook offers concrete steps for anyone seeking to move beyond the clash of civilizations and join a sacred struggle for justice and peace.
