The Gnostic Gospels of Jesus: The Definitive Collection of Mystical Gospels and Secret Books about Jesus of ... 15 reviews
Marvin Meyer
HarperOne, 2005
A different view of things...
I was very pleased with Marvin Meyer's translations and loved that he had so many notes in the back to look at while reading the texts. It was an interesting look into the world of the ancient Gnostics. I really enjoyed the Gospels of Thomas and Mary. Some of the other ones, as written by Valentinus, for example, I just really couldn't get into because of some of the radical ideas such as the ...

Jesus of Nazareth153 reviews
Pope Benedict XVI
Doubleday, 2007
Scholarly, philosophic, passionate look at the real Jesus
There has been a great deal written on the "real" Jesus in recent years. We have had the "Jesus Project" in which a team of scholars has edited the Gospels, to throw out the parts they consider not "real" Jesus. We have had a wide variety of other scholars use various methods of modern scholarly research to cut through what they consider to be the fog of the centuries, to show us who the person ...

The Halakhah of Jesus of Nazareth according to the Gospel of Matthew (Studies in Biblical Literature) ...
Phillip Sigal
Society of Biblical Literature, 2007
This is a republished edition of Sigal's pioneering work with a new preface by Eugene Fisher of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and an updating epilogue by Thomas Kazen of the Stockholm School of Theology. Sigal argues that, from a halakhic perspective, Jesus teachings on Sabbath and divorce in the Gospel of Matthew use the same methods of interpretation as those of his proto-rabbinic contemporaries. The Jesus of the Gospel of Matthew ...

Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews: A Jewish Life and the Emergence of Christianity 29 reviews
Paula Fredriksen
Vintage, 2000
Lucid and Sensible
Fredriksen tries to answer one big question: why was Jesus crucified? Why wasn't he just quietly done away with by the Romans or the Jewish religious establishment? What did he do that merited the most extreme and public form of execution?
In the course of examining this question the author looks and evaluates the sources for Jesus's life and teaching -- mostly the New Testament and Josephus ...

Three From Galilee: The Young Man from Nazareth5 reviews
Marjorie Holmes
Berkley Trade, 2005
It just really helped me to see Jesus as a Man in this book.
It was a real and personal way for me to see Jesus. Because he was fully man. Sometimes when we think of Jesus we forget that he was fully Man.

The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth44 reviews
Thomas Jefferson
Applewood Books(MA), 2006
An interesting book from an historic standpoint.
This book is historically important, and used in US military schools as a template of good values.
This book is merely a cut an paste of most of the "interesting values" in some of the gospels accepted and selected by the church.
I do wish that Thomas Jefferson could include the recently discovered gospel of Judas, and also the gospel of Marie.
This book should in my view be seen in the ...

Jesus and mastership: The gospel according to Jesus of Nazareth as dictated through James Coyle Morgan5 reviews
Jesus Christ
Oakbridge University Press, 1995
Heart Warming and Informative
I loved this book from start to finish. Reading Jesus' own words is far more inspiring and readable than the King James version of the New Testament (or any other version), a book which has been edited and modified to meet the political and economic needs of Christianity and the West. This book sets forth the mission of the Master Jesus in simple and understandable words which ring with truth, ...

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2005
1902. In 1803, while overwhelmed with other business, Mr. Jefferson cut from the evangelists such passages as he believed would best present the ethical teaching of Jesus, and arranged them, on the pages of a blank book, in a certain order of time or subject. He called it The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, extracted from the account of his life and doctrines, as given by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; being an abridgment of the New Testament ...

Eyes That See Not: The Pope Looks at Jesus 2 reviews
Gerd Ludemann
Polebridge Press, 2008
The Historical View
The book is brilliant...well written and is an excellent companion to the Popes book called Jesus of Nazareth. Excellent for use in small groups for laity who study theology. If one sees the Popes book as a theological reflection on the life of Jesus then Ludemanns book is the view of reality on the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

JESUS OF NAZARETH9 reviews
Dale C. Allison
Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1998
The kingdom of God is at hand -- not!
I often tell people that if there is one book to read about Jesus, this is it. Dale Allison develops Schweitzer's apocalyptic prophet in view of millenarian movements, outlining 19 characteristics shared by apocalyptic groups and cargo cults -- all of which happen to fit the Jesus movement like a glove. He gets Crossan out of the way in chapter one (not a difficult task), and then explains the ...

The Jesus Quest: The Third Search for the Jew of Nazareth18 reviews
Ben Witherington III
InterVarsity Press, 1997
An outstanding overview of contemporary Jesus scholarship
Yes, Ben Witherington is a (relative) conservative, but don't hold that against him. Yes, he has strong opinions, but don't hold that against him, either, because they are well argued. The fact remains that this is the best overview of "Third Quest" Jesus scholarship I have been able to find. Admirers of the Jesus Seminar may not appreciate his critique, but it is very fair and well-thought out. ...

The Way of Life: Volume One: The Child and The Lion
Jesus of Nazareth
iUniverse, Inc., 2008
In this book, Robert North shows that the Gospel of Thomas, a recently discovered first century text, was probably composed by Jesus of Nazareth and dictated to his disciple, Thomas, just as the first page indicates. North translates this work as never seen before-as poems written in the ancient Biblical style. He also explains each poem to bring out its intended meaning. In that process we are led to understand a Jesus quite different from the ...

Jesus the Liberator: A Historical-Theological Reading of Jesus of Nazareth1 review
Jon Sobrino, Paul Burns, ...
Orbis Books, 1994
Theology from El Salvador
Jon Sobrino argues for a Christology that is relevant for his cultural situation, and he begins from below with the person of Jesus of Nazareth presenting a genetic Christology from below, relying heavily on the synoptic gospels. Writing from El Salvador, Sobrino has a clear purpose in mind for his Christological work, Jesus the Liberator. He writes from the perspective of the poor, trying to ...
