Book Description
There are 27 books in the New Testament; in "The Bible According to Jeanne," I'm combining some of the books into a single volume. For instance, each of the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are stand-alone ("The Gospels According to Jeanne"); next come Acts and Romans as the two books of "The Amazing Early Church." Next sub-series are "The Epistles of Paul the Apostle": 1st & 2nd Corinthians as one book; Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians will be one book; 1st & 2nd Thessalonians, 1st & 2nd Timothy, Titus, and Philemon will be one book; Hebrews will be one book. Then comes "The Epistles of the Apostles," with James, 1st & 2nd Peter, and I'm going to break with tradition to include Jude here; wrapping up with 1st, 2nd & 3rd John with Revelation. That will 12 books all told to cover the entire New Testament. Whew! Next year, I'll tackle the Old Testament ... maybe. Now I know a little how Eugene Peterson felt when he was writing "The Message" - a noble task, that takes years to accomplish.

Book Description
The Bible is simply a love letter compiled into sixty-six books and written over a period ofsixteen hundred years by more than forty authors living on three continents. Although theauthors came from different backgrounds, there is one message, one theme, one thread that runs throughout the entire Bible from the first book, Genesis, to the last book, Revelation. That message is God's redeeming love for mankind--a message that is as relevant for us today as it was two thousand years ago.Paul's Letters to the Churches (Romans, First Corinthians, Second Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, First Thessalonians, and Second Thessalonians) were written by Paul over a period of fourteen years to seven churches scattered throughout Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome. These churches were in different stages of maturity and all needed instruction from the great apostle. Though Paul did not found all of them, he was looked to for leadership as these churches moved through various seasons of growth and challenge.As we will see, these letters contain both doctrine and practical explanation. The apostle took the great truths of the life, death, resurrection, and return of Jesus Christ and explained and applied them for the members of these newly established centers of Christian worship and witness. Because of the different circumstances into which Paul sent these letters, each has its own flavor and emphasis. However, the Spirit of God and the purpose of the Scriptures make them as applicable today as they were nearly two thousand years ago when the apostle originally penned them.

Book Description
“Borg and Crossan reveal a figure who, besides being neither anti-Semitic, anti-sex, nor misogynist, stresses social and political equality among Christians and between them and others. A refreshing and heartening exculpation of a still routinely maligned figure of the first importance to culture and civilization.” — Booklist (starred review) John Dominic Crossan and Marcus J. Borg—two of the world’s top-selling Christian scholars and the bestselling authors of The Last Week and The First Christmas—once again shake up the status quo by arguing that the message of the apostle Paul, considered by many to be the second most important figure in Christianity, has been domesticated by the church. Borg and Crossan turn the common perception of Paul on its head, revealing him as a radical follower of Jesus whose core message is still relevant today.
