He took his place as one of us and died our death in order that we might be identified with him both in his death and in his resurrection. She also demonstrates in meaningful new ways that the message of the cross - the message that lies at the heart of the gospel - is as relevant, and as disturbing, to the present generation as it was to its first hearers.\" \"Provocative, at times even controversial, this volume will be highly stimulating to readers who are prepared to take a fresh look at the New Testament evidence.\"--Jacket.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 141 pages ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":8,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The Jesus quest : the third search for the Jew of Nazareth \/ Ben Witherington III.","author":"Witherington, B.","isbn":"0830815449","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InterVarsity Press"},"datePublished":"1995","inLanguage":"English","description":"Contents:\tPreface : the first two quests -- Galilee & the Galilean : Jesus in his social setting -- Jesus the talking head : the Jesus of the Jesus Seminar -- Jesus the itinerant cynic philosopher : the works of John Dominic Crossan, Burton Mack and F.

What do the sects, parties and movements of Jewish Palestine tell us about the real Jesus, his words, his actions and his intentions?\" \"These are the questions being asked by a new generation of investigators of the man behind the origin of Christianity. Dubbed the Third Quest of the historical Jesus, this renewed effort is a transformation of the first quest, memorialized and chronicled by Albert Schweitzer, and the second quest, carried out in the 1950s and 1960s in the wake of extreme Bultmannian skepticism. Now in the 1990s, with the time, place and social setting of Jesus newly illumined by renewed and vigorous investigation of the Dead Sea Scrolls and other Jewish and Hellenistic sources, there has appeared a surge of scholarly books on Jesus within his Jewish and Mediterranean environment.\" \"The controversial works of John Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg and Burton Mack, and the results of the Jesus Seminar have been thrust upon the public by publicists and media as the voices of learned consensus. Meanwhile, at the center of the scholarly investigation of Jesus, a less celebrated but certainly no less informed majority rejects many of the methods and conclusions of those who have captured the limelight.\"--Jacket.\r\n\r\nOther Notes\tIncludes bibliographical references (pages 288-294) and indexes.\n\nPublished in: Downers Grove, Ill.\n\nPhysical description: 304 pages ; 24 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":9,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The murder of Jesus : a study of how Jesus died \/ John F.
