God is Love. This new edition of E. W. Gray’s 1890 classic is a timely reminder for today’s Christians. The book is dedicated to “the lovers of truth who have found it difficult to accept Christianity as it is usually delivered from the pulpit,” and reminds us what Jesus actually taught and practiced, making this volume a welcome resource for spiritual growth and happiness on Earth.

What would Christianity look like if we stripped away centuries of political compromise, theological complexity, and institutional control—and went back to what Jesus actually taught?

First published in 1890, and freshly formatted for modern readers, with an updated index, this bold and timely work challenges readers to examine the faith with fresh eyes.

Writing with clarity and conviction, author E. W. Gray examines what Jesus actually taught. He invites readers to separate the message of Jesus from the layers of doctrine and ritual that developed afterward, and to rediscover a Christianity centered on love that is expressed by helping your neighbor—in the way your neighbor wants to be helped.
It is a call for believers to:

Prioritize love, justice, and compassion
Set aside power structures and hierarchy
Welcome honest questioning and open dialogue

First published more than 130 years ago, and long out of print until now, this work is as important now as when it was written—an invitation to return to the simplicity and strength of the faith’s beginnings, before divisions, hierarchies, and institutional agendas took hold.
