"Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus is convicting and comforting at once, reminding all true believers that God's family is rough around the edges and held together by grace." - Rosaria Butterfield, Former Professor of English, Syracuse University; author, The Gospel Comes with a House Key
The story of Jesus in the Gospels includes all kinds of interesting people - some who claimed to be saints but proved to be scoundrels, as well as scoundrels who were transformed into saints. In Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus, Nancy Guthrie provides a fresh look into what shaped and motivated people such as John the Baptist, Peter, the Pharisees, Zacchaeus, Judas, Caiaphas, Barabbas, Stephen, and Paul. Join her as she reintroduces us to these biblical characters, helping us to see more clearly the ways in which they reveal the generous grace of Jesus toward sinners.

The story of Jesus includes all kinds of characters. Some see these people as mere examples to follow or to avoid, and some have only heard about them in Sunday school stories. But their interactions with Jesus reveal much more about the person of Jesus himself and the message he has for us. *Saints and Scoundrels* *in the Story of Jesus* tells the story of 10 people or groups of people who are integral to the story of Jesus told in the Gospels. Each chapter takes a character off the Sunday school felt board and reveals them as a three-dimensional person with desires, motivations, flaws, and limitations. They are more than examples-they show us a unique angle on the grace available through Jesus for sinners. Each chapter also offers challenging applications to the lives of readers.

An interesting book about the minor characters of Jesus' time
Dense formatting. An interesting book to explore the characters around at the time of Jesus. A couple of times she implied the thoughts of those characters which I didn’t love

Excellent exposition of people in the gospels
As with other Nancy Guthrie's books, you can expect excellent exposition (biblical theology) written in a way that laymen would understand, and also Jesus and gospel-centred. This book is no exception. It details the story of the people in the gospels, like John The Baptist, Judas Iscariot, The High Priest Caiaphas and many more. It is a reflective book in that the author encourages us to see ourselves in the character, but also gives us hope as it points us to Jesus. It would give us new perspective / knowledge on the characters described. I enjoyed reading this book and would like to recommend it to other Christians who want to study the Bible.
