Jesus Outside the Lines: A Way Forward for Those Who Are Tired of Taking Sides
Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today's media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward - away from harshness, caricatures and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines , you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.

Wonderful book that reads like a breath of fresh air! Every chapter was solid. It seems like nowadays it's all about taking sides for believers and non-believers alike, being pro-this or anti-that and winning arguments...especially on social media. We all have our own self-salvation projects wanting to be right all the time about whatever x issue (me included), but Sauls does a great job of helping us look honestly at the various issues (politics, abortion, sexuality, to name a few), but through the lens of the gospel, to a Jesus who is full of grace and truth. The biggest takeaway for me was that one of the areas where the Gospel can shine brightest is how we treat people who don't agree with us! Man, that's so hard! He is balanced, biblical and gracious in his approach and solid in his cultural and biblical exegesis. Enjoyed it!

“What we want, if men become Christians at all, is to keep them in the state of mind I call, ‘Christianity And.’ If they must be Christians, let them at least be Christians with a difference. Substitute for the faith itself some Fashion with a Christian coloring.” Screwtape
In Part One of Jesus Outside the Lines, Scott Sauls counteracts Screwtape’s advice from the pit. To walk with Jesus outside the lines of my political leanings or my hobby-horse-of-the-week is to embrace the notion that not everyone in Heaven will look like or agree with me. (One of the reasons I listen to NPR is that every now and then I need to hear people say things that I disagree with. I’m practicing for heaven!) Sauls helps us to see that the Christian’s “uttermost foundation of stone” is Christ — not our political hot-buttons, our worship preferences, or our tax bracket. Therefore, “we should feel [most] at home with people who share our faith . . .” Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and many Christians prefer the company of unbelievers, simply because they are “tired of taking sides.” God intends for His people to need and to be needed by a body of believers. Sauls exposes the church’s faulty thinking about money with the truth that it is not wealth but discontentment that is the true evil of our day. In fact, in all our heated discussions as believers, it would seem that the fire blazes most destructively when we lose sight of the truth that the most beautiful thing in the world to Jesus is people.
In Part Two, Sauls casts his net wider to address the Yin and the Yang of dilemmas that have been argued since Jesus walked this broken ground. Sauls pulls back the curtain on his own Pharisaism, insecurities, and disappointments, yielding a powerful collection of essays on the Christian life in relation to:
1.Criticism – The fact that Jesus affirmed both His followers and His non-followers opens the door for present-day Christ-followers to “affirm expressions of truth, beauty, and goodness wherever [we] find them.”
2.Judgment – The holiness of God requires a realistic look at humanity’s hopeless depravity, and yet, for the Christian, Judgment Day has been absorbed by Christ. Wanting this freedom for others is the best motivation for evangelism, and Moses sums it up beautifully in Exodus 20:20: Fear God so that you will not have to be afraid of Him.
3.Hypocrisy – Yeah, it’s true. Gandhi and all the others who complain about the hypocrites in church are telling it like it is. In the words of Anne Lamott, we’re all “very crazy and very damaged,” but the transformation that Christ makes in a life puts the believer on a path toward demonstrating the loveliness of Jesus. The more time we spend with Him, the more like Him we will become; and, consequently, the more faithfully we will walk His path.
4.Sexuality – Succinctly, Sauls interprets the whole of Scripture to say that “God is in favor of sexual freedom.” However, our “culture of casual sex has led to outcomes that are anything but casual.” Sauls shares heart-rending conversations he has had with believers who struggle with same-sex attraction, and his conclusions are both biblical and compassionate.
5.Suffering – Christ Himself wept and raged over the suffering and loss on planet Earth. The knowledge that all will be put to right by “the Resurrection and the Life” when Sam Gamgee is proved right and everything sad does come untrue, is a call for the believer to fight against suffering and injustice in this present age. Hope and realism are both appropriate responses to life on a fallen planet.
6.Self-esteem – Competitive, narcissistic humans express our brokenness in our misplaced hunger for approval. The Bible offers humility as an antidote to our self-absorption along with the fact that “you’re a worse sinner than you ever dared imagine, and you’re more loved than you ever dared hope.”
A theme that runs like a fresh-water stream through Jesus Outside the Lines is the truth that Jesus managed to defy all the labels imposed by the religious elite in His day, and He continues to elude our “definitions” today. Jesus Outside the Lines is a challenge to look for Jesus outside the boundaries and an invitation to join Him there.

It’s been a while since I’ve struggled with how to review a book, but here I sit typing and deleting my introductory sentence over and over. I’ve never heard of Scott Sauls, but I respect him and what he’s attempting to do with this new book, Jesus Outside the Lines: A Way Forward for Those Who Are Tired of Taking Sides. The thesis is great, the introduction is wonderful (this should be made freely available on a blog somewhere [Edit: An hour after posting this, Scott sent me this link: http://scottsauls.com/2015/02/04/611/.]), and then the rest of the book struggles with handling differing perspectives—how to work around the lines. Sauls is a Presbyterian minister, so I don’t expect him to write from another perspective; however, in a book trying to look at Jesus outside the lines of “My Christian Tribe” and “Christianity” (the two “parts” of the book), Sauls draws some pretty significant lines, some of which stem from particularly important Presbyterian conclusions. That’s fine, and I look to the “Introduction” and remember that he’s probably okay with my disagreeing with him on several of his lines, or at least the reasoning behind them.
So, here we have a book that doesn’t really wrestle with the both/and (or neither!) in a way that would be appropriate for its introductory claims, but there’s also a lot of really helpful material. There are some in-your-face moments that make me want to blow up Twitter (they’re too long, but I want to anyway!), and then there are moments when I want to throw the book at the wall for not delivering what I wanted from it (that’s my problem). It would be much easier to review and critique individual chapters on their own merit outside of the larger context, which I would probably do in a more favorable light, but as a whole the book just isn’t what it claims to be—it doesn’t take the reader on the “journey outside the lines” (xxvii) it promises. With that, I leave it up to the reader to decide whether or not he or she wants to go on a journey with Sauls.
Aside: If the author, editor, and publisher happen to read this, I would recommend publishing a book on the same thesis but with a collection of essays from differing perspectives and authors to help round it out.

Really solid. A good read before political elections haha. Though there are a few veiwpoints that I felt were a little underrepresented, it was still the fairest depiction of how most sides have some things right and some wrong I've read in a while.

This book is excellent! This book should be read by every Christian. Sauls’ take on the big issues of our time is a refreshingly non-partisan one. If you are a particularly politically partisan Christian, this book will challenge you greatly - to your benefit.
The chapters on politics, abortion, sex, and homosexuality alone are some of the best I’ve ever read on these subjects. Scott Sauls’ wisdom and insight on the fact that the Christian position on any issue in the public eye is typically one that is complex and nuanced, and rarely fits into the modern molds each political party presents. This is even a helpful book for non-Christians to see where Christians are coming from when they take stands in public discourse. Excellent read! - especially if you’re tired of partisan politics.

Scott Sauls is winsome. His honesty and humility are inspiring and compelling. The Jesus we worship is a Jesus who defied expectations. Sauls tackles debates relevant to the modern Christian (conservative vs. progressive, protecting the unborn, the local church vs. individual faith, sexuality, etc.) empathizes with both sides, and walks the line in a Christ-like way.
As America becomes more politically divided, we as Christians must become more like our Savior. I finished this book very much wanting to cling to Jesus more than my own preconceived notions.

Somewhere along the line Evangelical Christians in America have become the antagonists rather than the protagonists. Instead of being the heroes and champions of the poor, the disenfranchised, the marginized, and the broken, we have become the rich, the entitled and the all too quick to judge self-appointed moralists who have it right while the rest of the world (including other kinds of Christians) have it wrong. It is an uncomfortable place to be and I have often wondered how I and others had become ensconced in such an untenable position that runs counter to much of what I believe to be true about the gospel. Sadly, I must confess that I stood in the way of sinners and have sat in the seat of the scornful. And I have finally grown weary of feeding self and clinging to a Church that has strayed from its first love. Thankfully, Scott Sauls (admittedly my pastor) reminds me time and again in this book what I love best about Jesus and the Good News and it blows like a fresh wind through my soul. Yet I offer to him that he did not go far enough. He is offering great food for thought and much hope in the midst of a culture imploding upon itself, but I want even more of a call to a heart and lifestyle revolution. I want fresh wind, fresh fire and a life-altering move of the Holy Spirit to shake things up even more. Read this book if you are hungry or disillusioned. I have been both. There is much to chew on here that will send you looking for more. It's a very good, well-written and timely read.

Refreshing, true, encouraging, thoughtful. This book made me feel hopeful and grateful about my faith in God and about....life. Broad but true. There are many divisions among people of faith but there is a way forward and through that allows both truth and grace. This author was new to me but I plan to pick up his other books. I appreciate his careful and loving treatment of those outside our faith and of those inside the faith with differing opinions.

Wow, what a refreshing and insightful read. I found myself saying “YES!” to so many chapters. Lots I want to discuss with others in this book. My husband and I have been having some of these conversations for years. Favorite chapter (if I have to pick) was probably “hypocrite versus work in progress”. Several of those pages I read and reread.
I was given this book by my counselor after I discussed a well loved chapter by Brene Brown- “Speak Truth to Bullshit”, where she talks about how we often create false dichotomies that hurt our relationships. I think Scott Sauls nails these topics on the head in psyche of Christian Community.
Recommend to all.

“What matters more to us — that we successfully put others in their place, or that we are known to love well? That we win culture wars with carefully constructed arguments and political power plays, or that we win hearts with humility, truth and love?”
March 8, 2023
I think you should read this. Sauls makes it clear that Jesus doesn’t stand on one side or another. He does a good job of sharing his beliefs without criticizing those who disagree - in fact his sources span from a wide range of beliefs.
April 6, 2021
Refreshing call to a Christian ethic that works through ideological disagreements in distinctively Christian ways. I need more of these types of voices in my life.
May 4, 2016
On the whole, I found this immensely wise and likable. Sauls writes with both grace and truth so very well. He is so refreshingly honest about his own struggles and shortcomings, yet so hopeful because of the gospel of Jesus.
I did a whole lot of underlining, especially in the first half of the book. I found it less powerful and insightful as it went on, and even wondered how exactly the later chapters related to the main thesis. Part 1 is definitely the book's strength, as Sauls discusses the adversarial "camps" within Christianity and the ways Christians who hold different viewpoints demonize each other rather than listening, respecting, and growing from one another.
Part 2, which purports to look at relationships between Christians and non-believers, starts off strong. But the last couple of chapters, while enjoyable to read and full of good things to say, really didn't seem to fit with the book's theme.
In the end I do recommend it highly, and I believe that Christians of all viewpoints will find it both challenging and encouraging.

I appreciate what Saul is attempting to do here, that of humbly engaging with Christians on shared ground, and advocating for an acceptance of each other, and of society, in a more Christlike manner.
The issue then, is that almost nothing new is stated here, and is rarely stated better here then in books by other theologians. The other issue, is that Saul attempts to to cram far to much into this book. He attempts to tackle race, politics, religion, sex, gender and theology all in one book. Regardless of its relative shortcomings, I still found myself agreeing with most everything Saul says here, and though it may not be new or revolutionary, it stills manages to hit the right points. Christians are rarely Christlike, and should try to be more so: thats the long and short of it. If you want to be convinced or encouraged by this, then I would recommend this book, whose greatest strength is its humility, rather then its novelty.

I feel a little bad rating this book at three stars. There were some really great concepts here. Definitely several five star parts in this book.
When I started, I figured I would give this book five stars. I appreciate the author’s kind, balanced approach toward politics, pointing out the positives and the negatives on both sides.
But there also seemed to be a lot of white noise in this book as well. I don’t think it was necessarily wrong, it just seemed like a rehash of stuff I’ve heard my whole life. Maybe for others it’ll be new and inspiring, but for me, a lot of it was just old hat.
A relatively good perspective, and some really great nuggets scattered throughout.

Not what I thought it was going to be. Thought it was going to be about respect and unity amongst believers of different stripes (political, cultural etc). That was the book I thought I was getting.
Instead it was just another preachy argument for why the author's doctrines are right and the others are wrong (I'm so tired of theological arguments condemning homosexuality).
Ironically, for a book entitled, 'for those tired of choosing sides' in the end he said we do have to choose a side.

Solid, but didn't break much new ground for me. I was engaged by the thesis, but I didn't necessarily feel like he stayed focused on it. Instead, he more generally engaged various topics. All good and helpful, perhaps not his fault that I had already processed many of these areas in similar ways.
January 28, 2016
Needed
This book is a needed resource for the church. It caused me to step back and look at what I believe and ask myself why. It also caused me to fall more in love with Jesus.

Really good. The influence of Tim Keller was easily discernible, but it was Scott's gentleness and vulnerability that really stood out for me.
January 9, 2023
Took WAY too long to finish this book but I really enjoyed it. It was convicting because it forced me to think about the way I live as a Christian. Some of my favorite quotes:
When talking about caring for the poor he said “It’s naive to give yourself credit for hitting a triple if you were born on third base and it is equally naive to expect a person who was born in the parking lot to get to third base without your help”. This is something I definitely struggle with.
He talked about how our church shouldn’t just be a bunch of people we get along with. “Friendship between opposites enables us to see that bonds formed around a shared love for Jesus are even greater than bonds formed around a shared interest, hobby, favorite sports team, income bracket, ethnicity, nationality, or bloodline”. Again this was convicting.
When wrestling with being in ministry and my shortcomings I found this quote very encouraging “If pastors were allowed to preach only about the things that they were perfectly able to believe and practice, then they would not have anything to preach about”. This quote is not an excuse to continue to live in sin, but it is encouraging to know that I am not called to be perfect to be in ministry.

Refreshing, engaging, honest, and wise. Scott Sauls fleshes out so many of the things that have been on my heart in this polarized culture and has given me much to ponder. I love how he does not trade or water down the Truth of the Gospel in exchange for compassion and empathy, but rather he demonstrates how compassion and empathy are an essential part of the gospel and reveals how often we as Christians are lacking in these things. Sauls does a commendable job of speaking honestly to a number of hard things. This book is both inspiring and convicting, and one every Christian should read!
"There is something incredibly attractive and inviting about people who stop pointing fingers and posing and pretending to be totally good and totally right, and instead start taking themselves less seriously and openly and freely admit that they are not yet what they should be. I am eager for the Christian story to put a spotlight on the same thing that the biblical story does - that Jesus is quite fond of humbled hypocrites, and he loves to save humbled hypocrites from themselves." <3

This was such a refreshing book. I’ve read many non-fiction books about Christian living, and I have to say that this is one of my favorites. Not only does Scott Sauls look at both sides of many controversial issues, he shows respect to both. He gives foresight into his views and values while leaving room for the reader to come to their own conclusions. The focus remains on Jesus and following the path that he showed us through his own life. Overall, I truly enjoyed the approach to these topics and how they are addressed. For Christians who are in the middle and for anyone who is curious, this is a wonderful place to start.
January 20, 2021
This book’s contents and heart are absolutely vital to the Christian faith. It seems the longer I walk in life as a Christian, the more I see “camps” of Christians screaming at each other. Especially in the past year, I have seen this more than ever.
Scott has a heart to see people love others in the name of Christ. This book is a gem, and it’s my hope that the heart behind this book will become more evident in the lives of Christians. I want to see a day where there is love and respect and grace in the face of disagreement. Where Jesus can be a common denominator among people of different theological beliefs, different church backgrounds, different political parties, different personalities. Where those people can love each other, despite their differences, in the name of Jesus.

An amazing read! This book is thoughtfully written; it challenges many aspects of “Western Christianity”, and challenged me personally to reflect on whether or not I really know the real Jesus, not the picture of Jesus that the media portrays or a certain political group portrays. Am I following the Jesus of Scripture? I appreciated how the book challenged me and convicted me and changed my thinking in many ways. The book offers a breath of fresh air for those raised in the Evangelical or Fundamental Christian environment.
January 10, 2018
Who do I follow? As a Christian, I'd like to say, "Just Jesus." But in reality we follow others in politics, social issues and even how we do church. This book breaks it down and helps you to find that there is a road of freedom if we stay out of the extreme ditches that ensnare our thinking and threaten to sideline our effective witness to the watching world.
March 2, 2019
Highly recommend this book! It’s so easy as Christians to fall off on either side of big issues leaning more towards truth or more towards love. Sauls offers a way to cut through our traditions and unbiblical tribal views, and return back to critically examining what God thinks about issues; what God cares about, and how He would have us engage with and love others.
November 16, 2021
If people aren't too sure of where you sit politically, then chances are you are preaching Christ faithfully.
The Christian faith should never be restricted to one tribe. Let us be gentle and lowly, the friend of sinners and saints.

I definitely feel bad giving this 3 stars, but 4 would be pushing it so I’ll settle on 3.5. I was so excited to read this, and while there were some incredible pearls that I discovered and will carry with me, I felt like the majority of this book was filled with things I already found true/had heard many times before. Overall, I’m just feeling kind of “meh” about it.
April 4, 2017
Thought provoking and humbly written. Already wanting to go back and re-read certain portions.
May 7, 2018
This a practical and insightful book written by an honest pastor who we trust. It was particularly poignant to read this book in the throes of the Trump era.
A couple of my favorite quotes:
The question, then, is not whether Jesus is on our side but whether we are on his. This is the appropriate question not only for politics and government but also every other concern.
We should feel “at home” with people who share our faith but not our politics even more than we do with people who share our politics but not our faith. If this is not our experience, then we very well may be rendering to Caesar what belongs to God.
