."..accessible and non-technical...Recommended for all libraries
supporting work on Jesus and the origins of Christianity." P. K.
Moser, Loyola University of Chicago, reviewing for Choice, March
2001--Sanford Lakoff
"Scholarly publications on the Historical Jesus have reached
floodtide proportions, but all this erudition will profit us little
if it remains dammed up in the academy. The morally necessary next
step is to acquaint the thinking public with this work, to have it
stimulate and inspire nonscholarly communities to the new prospects
for theology, for biblical understanding, and most especially, for
inter-faith dialogue. The various essays in this volume
thought-provoking, timely, original lead us on our way. Pick up and
read!" Paula Fredriksen, Professor of Religion, Boston University,
Author of From Jesus to Christ and Jesus of Nazareth, King of the
Jews--Sanford Lakoff
"This anthology is a fine introduction for lay readers to some
central issues surrounding the historical Jesus." Robert
J.--Sanford Lakoff "Religious Studies Review "
"This is not your typical "Jesus" book. Some essays cover pressing
questions in historical Jesus research, others function as a kind
of cultural critique of the historical quest for Jesus, while still
others constitute reflections on the impact of Jesus scholarship on
Jewish-Christian relations. All in all, a compelling collection of
thoughts on the modern study of Jesus and its cultural implications
for both Jews and Christians. Pamela Eisenbaum, Associate Professor
of Biblical Studies and Christian Origins, Iliff School of
Theology--Sanford Lakoff
