As a Christian this brought me to a place of so much more compassion for those incarcerated. It further opened my eyes to the brokenness of our current system. I sent this to a loved one who is in prison and he read it entirely in a couple hours.I recommend this book for any Christians to gain a better understanding of our Masters teachings and how we are to receive and serve those who are in literal chains. It's a challenge to go beyond the concrete and barbed wire within our own borders and minister to these brothers and sisters. It's also a great tool at understanding the impacts (fiscal and otherwise) of Americas unruly practice of mass incarceration. Eye opening, honest, awakening. Left me more humble. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just received CPA 1st Place Award for Social Concerns *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2007* This book is a must read for anyone involved in or thinking about becoming involved in prison ministry. It is equally important for anyone who is interested in learning about the impact on society of the dramatic growth in the prison population in this country. It will challenge your perceptions of the justice system in this country and cause you to reflect on the biblical notion of redemption. The opening lines of the book, "When GOD CHOSE to take on human flesh, he did not become a priest or a monk, a king or a general, a poet or a philosopher. Instead, he became a death row prisoner, a condemned criminal executed alongside two thieves." give pause to our concepts of who the real prisoners are in our society.This book was recognized by the Catholic Press Association at the Catholic Media Convention on May 25th. It received a first place award in the category of Social Concerns. The citation is included below:Award for Social ConcernsFirst Place - The Convict Christ, by Jens Soering, Orbis Books, Maryknoll, N.Y.We found this book very compelling and well-written. The topic is timely, and the author's perspective is challenging and well-researched. It is a wonderful book for Christians who are ready to confront our society's "lepers"--prison inmates. The volume is easy to read and well-organized, and we especially appreciated the integration of Scripture, personal stories and broader reflections. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How Would Jesus Treat The Incarcerated? *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2010* Convict Christ is thought provoking. Put aside the nice stories of baby Jesus and Mary; of Christ being a carpenter's son teaching in the temple; of our ]salvation. Place Christ as a convicted criminal on death row - lowest of the low. A must read for anyone claiming to be Christian. The Gospel says one thing about criminal justice. Western (American) "tough on crime" culture behaves differently. It is not a question of liberal vs conservative. One may oppose crime without being tough on crime. How would Jesus treat the incarcerated?This book dovetails nicely with  The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/57580925-the-convict-christ](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/57580925-the-convict-christ) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
