- More about The Fractured Kingdom: Uniting Modern Christianity through the Historical Jesus
Jean-Pierre Isbouts' book "The Fractured Kingdom" explores the origin stories of Christianity and the Lord's Prayer to rally the modern church for unity in a time of cultural division. He argues that Jesus' ministry unfolded in a crisis similar to the one society is now battling and that the Lord's Prayer is the only doctrine Christians agree on as a way to forge a more equal, compassionate, and loving society.

Bestselling biblical historian Jean-Pierre Isbouts weaves the origin stories of Christianity and the Lord's Prayer into a reinvigorating and urgent rallying cry for unity in the modern church.
Modern Christianity is in the midst of a veritable schism along the fault lines of society's culture wars. Only if we understand the origins of this split can we find our way to unity. Though few may realize it today, Jesus' ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling. In fact, were it not for the truly catastrophic conditions in early 1st-century Galilee, his reimagining of the three quintessential virtues of the Torah – social justice, compassion toward one another, and an abiding love of God – would have likely failed to attract a wide following.
Brilliantly tracing Jesus' vision for the "Kingdom of God" from its origin up through modern times, Dr. Isbouts leads us to a possible antidote for the fiercely partisan moment in which we find ourselves: the Our Father. Then, taking readers on a historically exhilarating tour of the Lord's Prayer, The Fractured Kingdom shows us why the only doctrine Christians agree on might be our last hope for forging a more equal, compassionate, and loving society. What results is an eminently readable and undeniably essential work that addresses some of the most pressing issues now confronting communities of faith around the world.
