Jared skillfully reminds us that, through Jesus, the Christian faith is sustained by grace and meets our needs at every level.

Caleb Kaltenbach , author of Messy Grace ; lead pastor of Discovery Church

Jonathan K. Dodson, lead pastor of City Life Church; author of The Unbelievable Gospel and Raised? Finding Jesus by Doubting the Resurrection

Unapologetically, the gospel of Jesus is counter: counter-intuitive, counter-culture, counter-self, and even counter-religion. And yet, it is its counter-ness that causes the gospel to stand out as not only plausible but wonderfully compelling. Jared Wilson does a magnificent job showing us why.

Scott Sauls , senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church, Nashville, Tennessee; author of Jesus Outside the Lines: A Way Forward for Those Who Are Tired of Taking Sides

Unparalleled demonstrates why Christianity is the true faith that has no real rivals and is the only hope for lost humans and our broken world.

Thomas S. Kidd , Distinguished Professor of History, Baylor University

Jared Wilson successfully does what many apologetics and evangelistic books fail to accomplish: he speaks to the deeper existential crises and heart desires of the lost. He offers a guide to the Christian faith marked by courageous clarity and poignant storytelling.

Jared Wilson has written a compelling, attractive, and lively account of what makes Christianity so distinctive.

Sam Allberry , associate minister of St. Marys Church, Maidenhead, England; author of Is God Anti- Gay?

This book beautifully presents the distinctions of Christianity and implores followers of Jesus to stop making him look so normal. This is a book you should put in the hands of every Christian.

Daniel Darling , author of The Original Jesus ; vice president of communications, ERLC

Unparalleled is a gospel-drenched adventure into the uniqueness of God. Confessional and winsome, Jareds writing guides us from the foothills of faith to the Himalayas of holiness.

Christian George , assistant professor of historical theology and curator of the Spurgeon Library at Midwestern Seminary; author of Godology and Sex, Sushi, and Salvation

Acknowledgments

Insights and inspiration from many people have served the writing of this book, but I am compelled to mention at least a few. Chapter 1, the trickiest chapter to write in many ways, would not have developed without many wonderful conversations with my friend Christian George, the curator of Midwestern Seminarys Spurgeon Library. Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement, friend.

This work also leans heavily on the thoughts of great men like Ray Ortlund, Tim Keller, Martin Luther, and C. S. Lewis. Pastor Erik Raymond unlocked a beautiful truth about Romans 3:26 that helped me immensely. I am also very grateful for the field of my former ministry, Middletown Springs Community Church in Vermontand the beautiful people of New England in generalfor providing the space and opportunity to see what the message of Jesus might do in places where it seems so foreign and strange to so many.

My agent, Don Gates, was a valuable coach throughout the composition of the book. The kind folks at Baker Books, including my editor Brian Thomasson, have been enthusiastic cheerleaders of this project from start to finish. But mostly I must thank Becky, who is my best friend and a greater partner in the adventure of grace than I could have dreamed.
