ev. Donald Blosser’s official website is now up and running—and if you’re someone who likes to dig deep into what Jesus actually said (not just what people say about him), this is a suitable place to start.
His latest book, The Good News According to Jesus, is for readers who want to rethink the message of Jesus in a way that feels honest, grown-up, and grounded. You can check it out now at https://revdonaldblosser.kravitzandsons.us/.
Rev. Blosser’s been around the block. He’s a Mennonite pastor, a New Testament professor, and someone who’s spent a lifetime deeply studying Scripture. He taught at Goshen College and even earned his Ph.D. from St. Andrews in Scotland. He’s not here to spoon-feed tradition—he’s here to challenge readers to see the Gospels with fresh eyes.
In The Good News According to Jesus, Blosser lays out a simple but bold idea: Jesus didn’t just come to die—he came to live, to teach, and to show us how to live too. The book takes you into some of the core Gospel moments like:
- The Sermon on the Mount
- Jesus speaking in his hometown synagogue
- The cleansing of the temple
- The Great Commission
- And that often-misunderstood parable about the Judgment Seat
It’s not just theology—it’s personal. The message? Following Jesus isn’t about memorizing doctrines. It’s about doing the hard, beautiful work of justice, compassion, and mercy in real life, right now.
Blosser’s style is super readable. He takes the academic stuff and makes it make sense. He also brings in that good old Anabaptist vibe—really focusing on what Jesus taught instead of just how he died.
There’s also a bit of a behind-the-scenes bonus: throughout the book, you’ll catch glimpses of how Blosser developed these ideas over years of teaching and wrestling with Scripture. You’re not just reading someone’s thoughts—you’re stepping into their lifelong conversation with the Bible.
If you’re curious, the website has links to where you can get the book and other resources. There’s even a spot to shoot him a message if something in the book really hits home—or if you just want to say hello.
This book isn’t just something to read and put on the shelf. It’s the kind of book that sparks conversations, challenges assumptions, and gets people thinking about what it really means to follow Jesus today.
So yes, check it out, take your time with it, and maybe even start some new conversations of your own.
