In this popular yet academically grounded look at Jesus, liberation theologians Dorothee Soelle and Luise Schottroff offer a corrective to the "Jesus of history" research recently made popular through the work of the Jesus Seminar. By situating Jesus within his community of friends--who played a large part in his life, ministry, and movement--the authors show that the story of Jesus has not come to a close. Rather,Jesus of Nazarethdemonstrates how his works, words, and inspired community pose timeless challenges for contemporary life. This book includes sixty-seven color illustrations, a glossary, chronological table, map, and brief annotated bibliography.

Paula Fredriksen, renowned historian and author of From Christ to Jesus, begins this inquiry into the historic Jesus with a fact that may be the only undisputed thing we know about him: his crucifixion. Rome reserved this means of execution particularly for political insurrectionists; and the Roman charge posted at the head of the cross indicted Jesus for claiming to be King of the Jews. To reconstruct the Jesus who provoked this punishment, Fredriksen takes us into the religious worlds, Jewish and pagan, of Mediterranean antiquity, through the labyrinth of Galilean and Judean politics, and on into the ancient narratives of Paul's letters, the gospels, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Josephus' histories. The result is a profound contribution both to our understanding of the social and religious contexts within which Jesus of Nazareth moved, and to our appreciation of the mission and message that ended in the proclamation of Jesus as Messiah.

El Cristianismo, abarca las iglesias: Católica, Luteranas, Calvinistas, la Anglicana y otras, es una inagotable fuente de fe que aglutina a casi la mitad de la humanidad. Esta creencia y doctrina se originó en las comunidades formadas por Saulo, inventor y fundador del Cristianismo; para la Iglesia "San Pablo". Saulo padecía del gran mal o epilepsia con crisis convulsivas más frecuentes de lo deseable. Se formó a la sombra del reino herodiano, civis romano, influyente ante los romanos y ante los judíos, jefe de la policía moral judía y persecutor de Yeshua bar Jehudá o Jesús de Nazaret, hasta su muerte en la Cruz. Jamás cruzó palabra con Jeshua, no lo conoció más que de vista y por lo tanto desconocía absolutamente su palabra y enseñanzas. Por su propia iniciativa se autonombró "Apostol de los Gentiles" o Apóstol 13° y fue el inventor y fundador del cristianismo. Más de 200 años después de su muerte, las comunidades cristianas se multiplicaron y se extendieron por todo el Imperio Romano. El Emperador Constantino I el Grande, la reconoció oficialmente, la vistió con la personalidad de Mitra y el mitraísmo y le heredó el poderío imperial con que vive hasta la fecha.

Dale Allison's clearly written Jesus of Nazareth will enable people who have followed recent discussions to vindicate and reclaim the central religious signficance of the historical Jesus. Allison makes a creative contribution to Jesus studies in several ways: -- He offers new suggestions for establishing the authenticity of Jesus' words -- including what he calls "the index of intertextual linkage" -- and for the process of framing a convincing picture of the central thrust and purpose of the activity of Jesus. -- Referring to fascinating cross-cultural millenarian parallels, he shows that the impetus for the pre-Easter Jesus movement was apocalyptic in nature and that the historical Jesus can best be understood as an eschatological prophet. -- He presents the first full-length treatment of the question of Jesus and asceticism and shows that Jesus, far from the image suggested by some today, was driven by an apocalyptic asceticism that extended to matters of sex, food, and social relations.
