Watts to rediscover the life, the work, and the message of Jesus. The authors explain the person and teachings of Jesus with remarkable clarity, relying on the actual historical record as much as possible. Their intention is to aid readers in a fuller and more accurate understanding of the kind of man Jesus was, what kind of world he lived in, and the legacy of his teachings to humankind. Responding to questions about Jesus that he has been asked from all over the world, Crossan addresses the critical issues that have surrounded the Man from Galilee for centuries: his miracles, his baptism, his resurrection, and more. Crossan and Watts help us understand the life and death of Jesus in a way that goes far beyond the Gospels and the legend. This book makes the results of a lifetime of scholarship readily available to nonspecialists who want to meet the historical Jesus. It also leads us to a greater appreciation of Jesus' lasting impact on our lives. |
