A historical analysis of first century Judaism(s) and how Jesus fit inside of and subverted it(them).

    <body><![CDATA[Impressive tome. Wright presents a refreshing and compelling thesis - that the historical Jesus is fairly close to what the text says, if read in a first-century Jewish and Roman-empire context.<br/><br/>The book engages current scholarship more than a typical lay book does - meant for academics m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47257716">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Amazing book on how Jesus would have viewed himself.  Argues against much of the popular revisionist views of Jesus, yet N.T.

I would recommend reading &quot;The Challenge of Jesus&quot; first, however. It is the &quot;small book&quot; version of this book. Much easier...]]></body>
