Book Synopsis The Authentic Gospel of Jesus by : Geza Vermes
Download or read book The Authentic Gospel of Jesus written by Geza Vermes and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There can be no doubt that Jesus, 'a religious genius' as Geza Vermes describes him, lived and taught in Palestine some 2000 years ago. The influence he has had is incalculable. How though can we distinguish between the doctrines shaped to the needs of the burgeoning Christian church and the original views laid out by Jesus himself? How can we dig back through the additions, misinterpretations and confusions of later writers and two millennia of tradition to get back to the authentic gospel of Jesus? In his new book, Vermes subjects all the sayings of Jesus to brilliantly informed scrutiny. The result is a book of unique value and novelty--scraping aside the accretions of centuries to come as close as we can hope to be to the true Jesus.

Book Synopsis The Gospel of Jesus by : James M. Robinson
Download or read book The Gospel of Jesus written by James M. Robinson and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but what was the gospel of Jesus? Is it possible to know what Jesus’s original audience heard as “the good news?” Jesus’s gospel has been lost from sight, hidden behind the version preferred by the church. In The Gospel of Jesus, James M. Robinson, acclaimed expert on early Christian studies, gets to the true historical message of Jesus. The Gospel of Jesus draws on a combination of the most ancient and authentic texts to reveal what Jesus really said and to illuminate what he may still have to say to us today. Robinson not only reconstructs the good news Jesus preached and practiced two thousand years ago, but also shows how relevant that message still is -- and how we can apply it to our lives today. The Gospel of Jesus offers one of the most authentic and stirring accounts ever written of the message preached by Christ. James M. Robinson is the founding director emeritus of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity, Arthur J. Letts Professor of Religion at the Claremont Graduate School and co-chair of the International Q Project. He is the author of Trajectories Through Early Christianity, A New Quest of the Historical Jesus, The Gospel of Jesus, and The Secrets of Judas. “The distillation of a distinguished career devoted to the exploration of Christian origins, Robinson’s Gospel of Jesus presents a succinct account of what the historical Jesus taught. Robinson’s reconstruction of ‘Q,’ the sayings source underlying Matthew and Luke, provides the script on which he builds his judicious -- and moving -- portrait of Jesus.” - Harold Attridge, Dean, Yale Divinity School.

Book excerpt: Jesus was a Jew who was born, lived, and died within first-century Judaism. His lifestyle was characteristic of the Jews of that day.

Download or read book JESUS written by Rabbi David Zaslow and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold, fresh look at the historical Jesus and the Jewish roots of Christianity challenges both Jews and Christians to re-examine their understanding of Jesus’ commitment to his Jewish faith. Instead of emphasizing the differences between the two religions, this groundbreaking text explains how the concepts of vicarious atonement, mediation, incarnation, and Trinity are actually rooted in classical Judaism. Using the cutting edge of scholarly research, Rabbi Zaslow dispels the myths of disparity between Christianity and Judaism without diluting the unique features of each faith. Jesus: First Century Rabbi is a breath of fresh air for Christians and Jews who want to strengthen and deepen their own faith traditions.
Book Synopsis Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament by : Christopher J.H. Wright
Download or read book Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament written by Christopher J.H. Wright and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? Should we listen to other gospels, other sayings of Jesus, that enlarge and correct a mistaken story? Is the real Jesus entangled in a web of the church's Scripture, awaiting liberation from our childhood faith so he might speak to our contemporary pluralistic world? To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus' own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this revised and updated book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled in the story of Jesus.
Book Synopsis Q, the Earliest Gospel by : John S. Kloppenborg
Download or read book Q, the Earliest Gospel written by John S. Kloppenborg and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2008-10-03 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimated to date back to the very early Jesus movement, the lost Gospel known as Q offers a distinct and remarkable picture of Jesus and his significance--and one that differs markedly from that offered by its contemporary, the apostle Paul. Q presents Jesus as a prophetic critic of unbelief and a sage with the wisdom that can transform. In Q, the true meaning of the "kingdom of God" is the fulfillment of a just society through the transformation of the human relationships within it. Though this document has never been found, John Kloppenborg offers a succinct account of why scholars maintain it existed in the first place and demonstrates how they have been able to reconstruct its contents and wording from the two later Gospels that used it as a source: Matthew and Luke. Presented here in its entirety, as developed by the International Q Project, this Gospel reveals a very different portrait of Jesus than in much of the later canonical writings, challenging the way we think of Christian origins and the very nature and mission of Jesus Christ.
Book Synopsis Jesus and the Lost Goddess by : Timothy Freke
Download or read book Jesus and the Lost Goddess written by Timothy Freke and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2011-08-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Were the Teachings of the Original Christians Brutally Suppressed by the Roman Church? • Because they portray Jesus and Mary Magdalene as mythic figures based on the Pagan Godman and Goddess • Because they show that the gospel story is a spiritual allegory encapsulating a profound philosophy that leads to mythical enlightenment • Because they have the power to turn the world inside out and transform life into an exploration of consciousness Drawing on modern scholarship, the authors of the international bestseller The Jesus Mysteries decode the secret teachings of the original Christians for the first time in almost two millennia and theorize about who the original Christians really were and what they actually taught. In addition, the book explores the many myths of Jesus and the Goddess and unlocks the lost secret teachings of Christian mysticism, which promise happiness and immortality to those who attain the state of Gnosis, or enlightenment. This daring and controversial book recovers the ancient wisdom of the original Christians and demonstrates its relevance to us today.

Book Synopsis The Original Jesus by : Daniel Darling
Download or read book The Original Jesus written by Daniel Darling and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From hit songs to bumper stickers to eye-black, Jesus is trending high wherever you look. But at the end of the day, many "try Jesus" and come away disappointed in the experience. That's because the Jesus of popular culture looks much more like us than the God-man who appeared in the flesh two thousand years ago. We've got Guru Jesus, Braveheart Jesus, Dr. Phil Jesus, Free-Range Jesus, and plenty more imposters that feed into our selfish desires. The problem is, they don't have the power to save us or transform us into new creations. Luckily, it doesn't have to be that way. The Original Jesus calls readers back to the Jesus who demands our worship--the potter who molds us, the clay. Seekers, skeptics, and sojourners in the way of faith will see Jesus for who he really is: God in the flesh, calling us to surrender our very lives that we may truly live. Foreword by Russell Moore
Book Synopsis Jesus First Jesus Always by : Jeffrey Smith
Download or read book Jesus First Jesus Always written by Jeffrey Smith and published by Emerge Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter what you've heard about him, he offers you something nothing or no one else can. If our world had a motto it would be "Me First, Me Always"-and when you think about the life you were meant to live why wouldn't you place yourself at the center of your own universe? It makes sense and it seems way more natural. But Jesus First, Jesus Always is about seeing life through a new perspective. It's about living life not by the concept of Jesus, but by the reality of him as a person. It's about shaping your world around that reality. It's about recognizing that he claims to be the Alpha point of the universe, the beginning of all things, and the Omega point, the one to which all of history is rushing towards. If he's the first and last, then he is certainly everything in between. Jesus First, Jesus Always is more than a motto, it's a heart revelation that becomes a soul revolution. We're going to be different than before. Why? Because He gives you the ability to look beyond yourself and become an icon of hope so that others can find grace by knowing you.
Book Synopsis The Jesus Mysteries by : Timothy Freke
Download or read book The Jesus Mysteries written by Timothy Freke and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2001-12-18 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the cutting edge of modern scholarship, this astonishing book completely undermines the traditional history of Christianity that has been perpetuated for centuries by the Church and presents overwhelming evidence that the Jesus of the New Testament is a mythical figure. “Whether you conclude that this book is the most alarming heresy of the millennium or the mother of all revelations, The Jesus Mysteries deserves to be read.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram Far from being eyewitness accounts, as is traditionally held, the Gospels are actually Jewish adaptations of ancient Pagan myths of the dying and resurrecting godman Osiris-Dionysus. The supernatural story of Jesus is not the history of a miraculous Messiah but a carefully crafted spiritual allegory designed to guide initiates on a journey of mystical discovery. A little more than a century ago, most people believed that the strange story of Adam and Eve was history; today it is understood to be a myth. Within a few decades, authors Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy argue, we will likewise be amazed that the fabulous story of God incarnate—who was born of a virgin, who turned water into wine, and who rose from the dead—could have been interpreted as anything but a profound parable.
