This work offers a different perspective on the life of Christ and his work -- his teaching, his miracles, his death and resurrection -- and ultimately, who he was and why he came. Relating the gospel events to the world we live in today, the author looks at the radical words of this Jewish carpenter and asks whether we are taking him seriously enough in our own day and age. From the manger in Bethlehem to the cross in Jerusalem, the author presents a complex character that generates questions as well as answers. The author paints a portrait of Jesus that is brilliant, creative, challenging, fearless, compassionate, unpredictable, and ultimately satisfying.\n\nPublished in: Grand Rapids, Mich.\n\nPhysical description: 288 pages ; 22 cm.","bookEdition":null,"offers":{"@type":"Offer","availability":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OutOfStock"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"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.

How would he have been understood by his contemporaries? Did the church transform a charismatic rabbi or a peasant-philosopher into its heavenly, incarnate Lord? Does the key to Jesus' real identity actually lie in the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Peter or other noncanonical Jesus literature suppressed by the ancient orthodox church? 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":7,"item":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Book","name":"The words and works of Jesus Christ : a study of the life of Christ \/ J.
