Beautiful Outlaw is a book by John Eldredge published in 2011, on the subject of the personality of Jesus Christ. Its subtitle is Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus. The book's jacket flap begins, "Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off."

The book's 17 chapters include "The Playfulness of God and the Poison of Religion," "The Missing Essential--His Personality," "The Most Human Face of All," and "Clearing Away the Religious Fog."

According to the publisher's description of the book, "In BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW, John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was accused of breaking the law, keeping bad company, heavy drinking. Of being the devil himself. He was so compelling and dangerous they had to kill him. But others loved him passionately. He had a sense of humor. His generosity was scandalous. His anger made enemies tremble. He'd say the most outrageous things. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass." [1]

John Eldredge is a New York Times bestelling author. He leads Ransomed Heart Ministries, a non-profit that offers events and resources world wide to help men and women in their journey toward restoration and freedom.
