May 6, 2025Renowned historian, bestselling author, and award-winning filmmaker, Dr. Jean-Pierre Isbouts introduces his latest transformative work, The Fractured Kingdom: Uniting Modern Christianity Through the Historical Jesus. This groundbreaking book explores the teachings of the historical Jesus and his vision of the Kingdom of God, offering an urgent call for unity amidst today’s cultural and political divisions.
Dr. Isbouts, a Professor Emeritus at Fielding Graduate University and a widely acclaimed author of National Geographic titles such as In the Footsteps of Jesus and The Story of Christianity, brings his profound scholarship and compelling storytelling to this urgent discourse. With a career spanning biblical archaeology, Renaissance art, and film, his work has captivated millions globally, blending historical rigor with accessibility.
In The Fractured Kingdom, Dr. Isbouts delves into the socio-economic turmoil of 1st-century Galilee, drawing parallels to the challenges faced by modern society. Through the lens of Jesus’s transformative reimagining of the Torah’s virtues—justice, compassion, and unyielding love for God—he presents a vision of Christianity that transcends partisanship and division.
“At its heart, this book is a call to rediscover the unifying essence of Jesus’s teachings,” Dr. Isbouts explains, “The Lord’s Prayer, the one doctrine embraced universally by Christians, offers a roadmap for building a more equal, compassionate, and loving society. It is our hope for forging unity and healing the fractures within the modern Church.”
The Fractured Kingdom has been lauded by thought leaders, including Randolph M. Hollerith, Dean of the Washington National Cathedral, who calls it “a book for all of us who call ourselves Christians, regardless of what branch of the Church we call home.”
Available in hardcover, eBook, and audiobook formats—narrated by Dr. Isbouts himself—the book offers an intimate experience for readers seeking deeper understanding. For an enriched journey, explore his acclaimed series, The Search for the Historical Jesus, streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
