Author:
Borg, Marcus J
Now fully revised and updated, this is Borg's major book on the historical Jesus. The original version was published well before the current popular fascination with the subject. Taking into account recent developments in Jesus scholarship, as well as new theories on who Jesus was, Borg shows how the Gospel portraits of Jesus make sense when seen in historical perspective. He presents Jesus as a charismatic healer, sage and prophet, living in the power of the spirit and dedicated to radical social change. Hardcover title: JESUS: Uncovering the Life, Teachings and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary. 352 pp. March.
