Editorial Reviews

Review

"An authentic, original work warm and unafraid in its humor and sometimes haunting insights, naked in its honesty." -- Malcom Boyd

"Langguth's book is both original in form and exciting in content, beautifully written and philosophically wise." -- William Gass

"Mr. Langguth provides an utterly original and continuously provoking succession of angles on his ever-shifting subject." -- Reynolds Price, The New York Times Book Review, May 4, 1997.

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant exploration into Jesus with human faults/doubts, September 3, 1998

By	terrygaar@aol.com (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jesus Christs

For many of us, Jesus is unobtainable. As a spiritual but not traditionally religious person, this book represents a way to see Jesus as a person who tries and fails, much as we all do. Langguth uses a sentence, a paragraph or a chapter to convey great meaning or a great message from a very human Jesus, and he leaves us with more questions. Jesus' inability to completely and satisfactorily answer his follower's questions and ultimately our own inability to find complete comfort in religion is the reason this book worked so well for me. Plus, let's not rule out the subtle humor in the book. When replying to a man that he has come to die for his sins, the man asks Jesus what am I to die for. Jesus asks for the man's name and address to reply later. That starts the book and I might say is the theme.

Obviously I am not a professional book reviewer but I play one on-line.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quirky treasure, January 18, 2007

By	Aaron Shepard - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm delighted to see this back in print. I read it decades ago, as a teen, and it has stuck with me ever since. If you're intrigued by the Man from Galilee and what he stands for, but not too reverent about it, this will fascinate you. Pair it with Romulus Linney's Jesus Tales for double duty.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the most creative, compassionate books I have ever read, February 7, 2008

By	oldest house in Barnesville "Zenwoman" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This book is characterized by insight, compassion and extrordinary understanding of human nature and of our relationship to the sacred. This is, without doubt, one of the best books I have ever read. I paid $120.00 for my hardback copy and I consider that a marveslous bargain.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not A Great Read
I loved A. J. Langguth's "Patriots" so much that I couldn't wait to read his novel, "Jesus Christs."
