DESCRIPTION
As a New Testament Jesus scholar who is also part of the Society of Biblical Literature, John Dominic Crossan has spent a lifetime researching into the historical roots of the person of Jesus Christ.
His conclusions might be controversial and provocative to many. Many have labeled him a heretic. Some others considered him enlightening.
Whether you agree with his theological assumptions or not, what this book does is to provoke your mind to investigate into the claims of the historicity of the Passion narratives within the Gospel tradition.
Drawing on the best of biblical, anthropological, sociological and historical research, Crossan demonstrates definitively that it was the Roman government that tried and executed Jesus as a social agitator.
Crossan's radical reexamination shows that the belief that the Jews killed Jesus is an early Christian myth (directed against rival Jewish groups) that must be eradicated from authentic Christian faith.
As a liberal scholar outside of the conservative evangelical position, many would disagree with Crossan. But as a work of scholarship, this makes an interesting read for those who wants to be informed of alternative viewpoints.
