Excellent orientation on Jesus in the Gospels and Christ for today.
As a student of the Bible, I have benefited from the presentation Marsh and Moyise offer of the Jesus made known in each of the four New Testament gospels, as well as in lesser known gospels not accepted as part of the Bible. Their simultaneous engagement with contemporary scholarship on Jesus as a prophet, as a "word-spinner," as a political liberator engaged with the...

Excellent orientation on Jesus in the Gospels and Christ for today.,
This review is from: Jesus and the Gospels (T&T Clark Approaches To Biblical Studies) (Paperback)
As a student of the Bible, I have benefited from the presentation Marsh and Moyise offer of the Jesus made known in each of the four New Testament gospels, as well as in lesser known gospels not accepted as part of the Bible. Their simultaneous engagement with contemporary scholarship on Jesus as a prophet, as a "word-spinner," as a political liberator engaged with the poor and with women as well, as a spiritual and ethical guide, and as the Christ of Faith provides a deeper sense of both who Jesus was and how we may understand him today.

Jesus: teacher and sage 10. Political and ethical interpretations of Jesus 11. Jesus in art, media and culture 12. How Christology works: the Gospels in practice Actually, as an average Christian, I wonder whether I am qualified to judge this book at all. Let me show you the questions in chapter 8 (there are 3 questions in the end of each chapter), Q1. What is meant by saying that Jesus was an eschatological figure? Q2. What was it that Jesus expected to happen soon? Q3. Is it possible to interpret Mark 12:24-7 as describing the destruction of Jerusalem? Nevertheless, as a book lover, I deem the writing dull and dry. A safe advice would be: for serious scholars only. |
