An Adult Christ at Christmas: Essays on the Three Biblical Christmas Stories, Matthew 2 and Luke 2 7 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Liturgical Press, 1988
Matthew and Luke wrote different things than you belive.
I read this book in this time of Christmas, 2001-2002. The content was incredibly interesting and changed my mind about the narratives of Jesus infancy. The two initial chapters of Matthew and Luke now say different things than I understood just a month ago. Recommendable only for people with a very well cemented faith. Short and very interesting and clear reading. That is the reason why I am a ...

The Community of the Beloved Disciple: The Life, Loves and Hates of an Individual Church in New Testament ... 13 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Paulist Press, 1978
The Definitive Treatment of a Difficult Topic
It is rare indeed for a specialized monograph to still be the authority on its topic of choice after nearly thirty years. In the case of this book, "The Community of the Beloved Disciple," which stirred controversy at its publication and still does today, it is even more remarkable. Building on the seminal work of his associate, J. Louis Martyn, at Union Theological Seminary, Brown explicates a ...

A Coming Christ in Advent: Essays on the Gospel Narratives Preparing for the Birth of Jesus : Matthew 1 and ...3 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
The Liturgical Press, 1988
Approachable scholarship
Raymond E. Brown is best known for his large The Birth of the Messiah and the two volumes on the death of Christ. Those are readable texts aimed at a more scholarly crowd. A Coming of Christ in Advent is one of a group of slim volumes that collect his essays for magazines. In these essays he shows the same skill for scholarly work and equal skill at making it meaningful to today's Christian ...

The Virginal Conception and Bodily Resurrection of Jesus3 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Paulist Press, 1972
For a clearer understanding of Christian faith.
Whatever the reader's convictions this book is an opportunity to reflect on two very sensitive topics for Christian faith. The author tackles them carefully and yet constructively. The book was authorized by those who are in charge of maintaining Roman Catholic tradition and yet it opens interesting perspectives to the reader who is not necessarily always satisfied with ready-made and ...

An Introduction to the New Testament (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)49 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Yale University Press, 1997
Extremely helpful and easy to understand
I am a somewhat new Christian and have really felt a connection with God since becoming faithful. However, I became wary of Church dogma and completely literal, simplified views of info in the Bible. I knew it had to be deeper than that. I had a hunger to learn more about the history of the New Testament and it's books, letters, etc. to help me better understand it. This book was extremely ...

The Churches The Apostles Left Behind11 reviews
S.S. Raymond E. Brown
Paulist Press, 1984
A Solid Biblical Start to a Study of Ecclesiology
Raymond Brown's investigation into the Apostolic communities of the early Church provides a solid biblical foundation for studies of the Church. It offers a mature view of the scripture which attests to these communities. While remaining orthodox, Brown does not appeal to less-informed views of the Bible. Instead, he views the testimony of the New Testament writers within their realistic ...

101 Questions and Answers on the Bible7 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Paulist Press, 2003
What's the Bible all about, anyway?
Raymond Brown is recognized as one of the foremost biblical scholars of the later 20th century, and this slim volume is the product of his own studying and teaching of Holy Scripture. A priest of the Roman Catholic Church, the late Fr Brown approached the bible as both divinely inspired and humanly influenced, but not in the manner of the Jesus Seminar folks, with whom he has very little in ...

The NJBC is by far the best single volume commentary around. If you are a serious theological student and interetsed in good biblical research and scholarship then I highly recommend it. The contributions to it will help to broaden your search for accuracy and textual interpretation. The editors and folks who contributed to it have done an excellent job with the various exegetical criticisms ...

A Crucified Christ in Holy Week: Essays on the Four Gospel Passion Narratives4 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Liturgical Press, 1986
"the sanest possible book you could read" about this topic
These are not my views, I must admit, but rather those of Rev. Mark Stanger, an Episcopal priest at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. In an interview published at salon.com in January 2004, he said, 'If people want to read something sensible about this whole thing, Raymond E. Brown -- he died about a year ago -- was a great, great Catholic scripture scholar. He wrote a mega-work called "The ...

An Introduction to the Gospel of John (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)4 reviews
Raymond E. Brown, Francis J. Moloney
Yale University Press, 2003
Brown's final gift
Before his sudden death in 1998 Raymond Brown was working on a revision of his widely acclaimed two-volume commentary on the Gospel of John (AB 29, 29A). What he left behind was a nearly completed new Introduction which, however, needed to be edited before publishing. The job fell to the highly qualified Francis Moloney, himself the author of several well-received publications on John. The result ...

The Birth of the Messiah: A Commentary on the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (The ...18 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Yale University Press, 1999
Magisterial
I was reluctant when this tome about the infancy narratives had been recommended, and after the first chapter discovered this was no ordinary book. There are myriads of commentaries, but none like this! This book elaborates at length on the short gospel narratives of the birth of Jesus, and how the NT authors had woven OT material into those narratives. It elaborates on the role of the Blessed ...

The Gospel According to John, XIII-XXI (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)6 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Yale University Press, 1970
Kudos for Brown.
Kudos for Brown. This is an outstanding addition to your theological library. Brown addresses the scholarly issues and at the same time, has superb insight to the text that preaches. No, it is not the easiest to read and use, but the best seldom are.

Death of the Messiah: From Gethsemane to the Grave (2 Vol. Boxed Set)2 reviews
Raymond E. Brown
Anchor Bible, 1994
Thorough Historical Critique of the Passion Narrative
This was really an incredible work to read through. Though I can understand how one could find parts tedious (those that examine historical contexts and practices relevant to the PN), it is a must read for anyone who desires to find the historical certainty and occurance of the Jesus' death. I do disagree with many conclusions Brown makes; however, I gave it 5 stars just because of the sheer ...

A solid, insightful and intelligent commentary.
Raymond Brown is an incredible scholar and has presented one of the finest commentaries written on the gospel according to John. Both introductory notes and main commentary are fluid and reveal significant insight. The book is an absolute pleasure to read regardless of theological persuation and one does not get worn out with overly technical information found in other commentaries of this ...

His brilliance, his faith, and his intellectual honesty shine through once again in this volume as he thoughfully responds to frequently asked questions about the Bible. Here, he takes on hard questions he has encountered through the years. A common theme of many of the questions is how literally we ought to take various ...

Another passable test from REA.
This is another passable test, the material covered is excellent. I recommend the following, before taking this test take the Intro to Psychology test and/or the Intro to Socialogy test. This test builds off of these other tests for your overall knowledge. I rank this test on par with the Human Growth and Development test. It is slightly more difficult than the first two tests I mentioned ...
