Jesus : uncovering the life, teachings, and relevance of a religious revolutionary / by Borg, Marcus J.(CARDINAL)342083; Borg, Marcus J.Jesus, a new vision.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 313-335) and indexes.Jesus today : telling his story -- The Gospels : memory and testimony -- The Gospels : memory, metaphor, and method -- The shaping of Jesus : Jewish tradition in an imperial world -- The shaping of Jesus : his experience of God -- The big picture : the synoptic profile of Jesus -- God : God's character and passion -- Wisdom : the broad way and the narrow way -- Resistance : the Kingdom and the domination system -- Executed by Rome, vindicated by God -- Jesus and American Christianity today.Almost two thousand years after his death, Jesus continues to be front-page news in the United States. Yet American Christians are deeply divided about what it means to follow him. Bible scholar Borg takes us on a journey to discover who Jesus was, what he taught, and why he still matters today. Borg argues that how we see Jesus affects how we see Christianity and reveals a new way of seeing--a new perspective that can overcome the differences between the literalists and progressives, a path that emphasizes following "the way" of Jesus, the original name of the Jesus movement. Jesus remains the decisive revelation of God, but we now encounter him as both a reality and a role model centered in God, focused on both personal and political transformation, emphasizing practices rather than beliefs, and exemplifying a faith characterized by deep commitment and gentle certitude.--From publisher description.

Desire of the everlasting hills : the world before and after Jesus / by Cahill, Thomas.(CARDINAL)781767;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Greeks, Jews, and Romans: the people Jesus knew -- The last of the prophets: the Jesus the apostles knew -- The cosmic Christ: Paul's Jesus -- The gentile Messiah: Luke's Jesus -- Drunk in the morning light: the people of the way -- The Word made flesh: the Jesus the beloved disciple knew -- Yesterday, today, and forever: the world after Jesus.How did an obscure rabbi from a backwater of the Roman Empire come to be the central figure in Western Civilization? Did his influence in fact change the world? These are the questions Thomas Cahill addresses in his subtle and engaging investigation into the life and times of Jesus. Cahill shows us Jesus from his birth to his execution through the eyes of those who knew him and in the context of his time -- a time when the Jews were struggling to maintain their beliefs under overlords who imposed their worldview on their subjects. Here is Jesus the loving friend, itinerate preacher, and quiet revolutionary, whose words and actions inspired his followers to journey throughout the Roman world and speak the truth he instilled -- in the face of the greatest defeat: Jesus' crucifixion as a common criminal. Daring, provocative, and stunningly original, Cahill's interpretation will both delight and surprise.

Pastor Richard Wurmbrand suffered 14 years of imprisonment and brutal torture, while his wife, Sabina, was treated as a slave in a labor camp. Their only "crimes" were their faith and witness for Jesus Christ. Through it all, they loved their enemies and sought to win their torturers for Christ. Filmed entirely on location in Romania, including in the very prison where Richard endured torture and solitary confinement, this is the cinematic retelling of one of the most powerfully inspiring and historically significant testimonies of our time."--Provided by the publisher.
