"This book is awesome, although less awesome than Jesus! I know of no other book that combines pop culture, personal anecdotes, and serious christological scholarship in such awesome ways! I hope this marks the beginning of a whole new genre in theological writing!"

"Tripp Fuller's Guide to Jesus is intelligent, insightful, reverent, raucous, and hilarious. If you don't understand how those adjectives can go together—all the more reason to read the book. An even better reason—the freakin' awesomeness of the subject!"

"As a pastor, I'm always looking for books that I can recommend to people in my congregations ­ books that can expand on this radically inclusive Jesus we talk about each and every Sunday. This is a book that speaks the language of theology in a way that is accessible to people looking for a Jesus they can understand in our postmodern context. And in addition, it looks like a new sermon series to me!"

"Tripp's witty, intelligent, and passionate reflections on Christ are so engaging and well researched that I'm almost tempted to lapse into a more confessional Christianity."

"This book is everything it claims to be—and given all that Tripp Fuller claims for it, that's saying a lot! Scholars will find their work accurately represented, but somehow all boiled down to what really matters (in ways that they rarely achieve). Ordinary people, believers or not, will find a clear and compelling account of who Jesus was and why he matters—a beautiful fusion of the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith. I’d say that, in a word, the book is freaking awesome."

"This is not your parent's intro-to-theology textbook. Tripp Fuller has written a crash course in all the basics about how we think and understand Jesus, complete with beer recommendations and Bob Marley references. If you like the idea of having a theology nerd friend tell you why he thinks Jesus is awesome over beer, Tripp Fuller is your guy, and this is your book."
