Jesus was certainly a revolutionary, but it would seem like the author is suggesting that this is a new idea, or counter-cultural idea. It is not, every Christian church in the world recognizes Christ’s revolutionary message and his revolutionary acts. Lest we not forget, as well, that Jesus was as much a revolutionary against turn-of-the-millenium Jewish culture (“Take this and eat it, this is my body…” We can’t imagine the reaction or the significance today because we’re aenestetized to the words, but these are arguably the most *revolutionary* commandments in the Gospels, given Jesus’ persona and his audience).

The suggestion seems to be, though, that Christ is an “insurgent” in the same way that some radical Palestinians are insurgents today — using missiles, suicide bombs, and guns to spread a message. Something tells me that if Jesus were advocating his message in the 21st century, he would not be going about it in contemporary Palestinian fashion. Needless to say, there is something unpalatable between “Love Thy Neighbor” and indiscriminate civilian murder.

[Additionally, I agree with Josh. Paragraph and title rather misleading, and I'm basing my comments purely on speculation of the author's argument. If I misinterpreted it, then I apologize]
