Media Reviews

The most important scholarly book about Jesus in decades. -- Marcus Borg, author of Jesus: A New Vision Lively and idiosyncratic in the great tradition of the historical Jesus genre begun by Schweitzer. -- The Christian Science Monitor [Crossan] argues that Jesus. . .became a wisdom teacher using Zen-like aphorisms and puzzling parables to challenge social conventions. -- The New York Times Adds color to the interpretation of faith. -- Martin Marty, author of A Cry of Absence Elegant . . .masterful. There is nothing like [Crossan's book] for thoroughness, readability, fairness, and clarity. -- Harvey Cox, author of The Secular City and Many Mansions
