Reviews

For readers who attend to the teachings of Jesus, this assembly of short pithy sayings will create a deep impression. Funk has done us a fine service. --Currents of Theology and Mission

Funk presents a rich conceptual framework for the fragments of aphorism, parable, and dialogue that represent the historical Jesus. --John Mark Ministries

Funk's essays are brief and plain. It is that which makes them easy to grasp and tantalisingly blurry. A quick read through the book's contents will prove interesting. But reflecting on the substance of the historical Jesus he sketches will prove much more rewarding. --Radical Faith
