Robert Funk, eminent biblical scholar and founder of the Jesus Seminar, documents his brilliant and provocative search for the original voice and vision of Jesus.This bold investigation takes the reader through the ancient gospels and history to find Jesus the subversive, the social critic, the dissident, the sage. Funk envisions and proposes a revitalized Christianity--shaped by history, not orthodoxy, and based on the unparalleled power of the authentic teachings of Jesus.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Honest to Jesus is far and away the best book about the goals and work of the contemporary Historical Jesus movement. Robert W. Funk is director of the Westar Institute, which sponsors an annual Jesus seminar in which scholars attempt to establish which events recorded in the gospels actually happened and which did not. In Honest to Jesus, Funk describes these scholars' professional methodologies and personal goals, and summarizes their surprising findings. His prose is clear, his passion is bracing, and his conclusions are challenging. Funk's Jesus, in the end, emerges as a revolutionary figure for a new age, without being the least bit New Age-y.

About the Author

Robert W. Funk is founder of the Jesus Seminar and Director of the Westar Institute in Santa Rosa, California. He has been a distinguished leader in biblical scholorship for more than thirty years. A Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright Senior Scholar, he is the author of a dozen books, including Honest to Jesus and The Five Gospels.

A must read for those interested in Progressive Chritianity.

August 1, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An important and thought provoking book for those who are interested in examining Progressive
Christianity. Not everyone's cup of tea, of course. Personally, I would recommend this since I
found it very thought provoking.

a candid assessment of the historical Jesus

July 17, 2001

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Don't read this book unless you have an open mind about the historical Jesus because the author will give you a view of Jesus that is candid and at times heretical. But if you go to this book with an open mind I think you'll come away wondering, "What did Jesus really mean and what did Jesus really mean for me?"

Besides its funny

December 16, 2003

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Honest To Jesus is all that the reviewers describe. It is a comprehensive look at contemporary scholarship, techniques and thinking about Jesus, the person. Although it can be heavy-going at times because of all the information included, it is worth persisting because the rewards are considerable. If Funk's anger is clear at times, so is his sensse of humor and proportion which he applies to himself as well as others. For a look at the pre-Easter, historical, and always challenging man known as Jesus I strongly recommend this book

Fascinating view of the times and how events can be re-interpreted to suit the present.

July 29, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book started me along a fascinating journey trying to ascertain the actual events occurring in Jesus' time, what he actually said, what he might have said and what has been re-interpreted by others down through history.

Belief is the enemy of consciousness

September 6, 2003

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Honest to Jesus is the most important book I've ever read. The greatest risk to stability in the world is fundamentalism. Christian fundamentalism is no less dangerous than Islamic fundamentalism. This is a hard book to read because it forces the reader to recognize the difference between belief and knowledge. Yet its message is invigorating because the message of the historical Jesus is so much more liberating and empowering than the fear based myth making offered by the personality cult that Christianity has become.

The Most Important Book I've Ever Read

December 19, 2002

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

As Christmas 2002 approaches I see a reminder of the benign fantisy of Santa Claus, I can't help by compare Santa to the Jesus of Christianity. In Honest to Jesus, Robert Funk details the more powerful message of the Jesus of history. Life is not about heavan or hell, it is about the here and now. "Punishment is proximity without relationship. Reward is association with intamicy."
This book is a must read.
