The Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood is a Catholic Priest (Old Catholic) and nationally recognized theologian and spiritual advisor to death row inmates nationwide. He has accompanied eleven men to their executions, including the first and eighth nitrogen hypoxia executions. Widely regarded as the leading spiritual voice on the death penalty, his work has been profiled in outlets ranging from the New York Times to a Rolling Stone documentary, The Spiritual Advisor. For his service and scholarship, he was nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Dr. Hood holds degrees from Auburn University (BA), Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv), Emory University's Candler School of Theology (ThM), the University of Alabama (MA), Creighton University (MS), Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University (DMin), and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the American Institute of Metaphysics. His primary interest has always been the power of spirituality to bring about liberation.
Ordained to ministry in 2006, Dr. Hood was incardinated into the priesthood of the Old Catholic Church in 2022. The author of over 100 books - including The Courage to Be Queer, named one of the best religion books of 2016 at the Independent Publishers Book Awards - he regularly partners with men on death row to co-produce original works of theology.
On July 7, 2016, Dr. Hood organized and led a Dallas rally against police brutality that ended in the shooting deaths of five police officers. He saved lives by using the cross he was carrying to force people away from the gunfire. The Dallas Public Library honored his role in that event and his wider work by opening the Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood Collection in its archives.
In January 2024, Dr. Hood became the first spiritual advisor present in an execution chamber for a nitrogen hypoxia execution. Amid the international media attention that followed, he kept the memory of Kenneth Smith at the center of the story while demanding that such an execution never be repeated. No other spiritual advisor in the country has been present in the execution chamber for as many executions.
Believing that traditional theological education is increasingly inadequate, Dr. Hood founded The New Theology School, where he serves as Dean and as the Rev. Charles Moore Professor of Prophetic Theology.
With many arrests and assaults, he is not afraid to give his body to the struggle for justice.Les informations fournies dans la section « A propos du livre » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Revised Gospels of Jesus Christ by Jeff Hood is a bold, prophetic reimagining of the four Gospels set in the streets, prisons, and margins of contemporary America. Written in a single inspired night, these revisionary narratives transpose the life of Jesus into the world of death row inmates, undocumented immigrants, the unhoused, and the systemically oppressed - asking readers to encounter the radical Christ not in ancient Judea, but in modern spaces and places.In Hood's retelling, Jesus is a death row prisoner in Harris County. Mary and Joseph cross the desert as undocumented migrants fleeing violence. The Sermon on the Mount becomes a cry against mass incarceration. The wise men arrive by bus from the East Coast. These are not mere literary devices - they are theological confrontations, challenging readers to ask whether the Gospel still speaks to the suffering of today.Written with raw urgency and spiritual fire, The Revised Gospels is essential reading for: Christians wrestling with faith and social justiceActivists seeking spiritual grounding for their workPastors, chaplains, and prison ministersAnyone who has found traditional religion too comfortable This item is printed on demand.
