Book Description
Most traditions within Christianity would agree that the "gospel" is the "story of the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus." Problematically, this common contemporary definition does not fit logically with the biblical texts that reference the term. Consider Mark 1:14, Galatians 3:8, Hebrews 3:16-4:2, Luke 3:18 & 9:6. ► If Jesus did not speak overtly regarding His intent to die sacrificially until the very end of His earthly ministry, what "gospel" did He preach at the start of His ministry? ► What "gospel" first came to Abraham and was also preached in the days of Moses? ► What "gospel" was known by John the Baptist before he baptized Jesus? ► What "gospel" was preached by Jesus' disciples prior to knowing that their Rabbi would go to the cross? This study not only elucidates the factors that contributed to the loss of the biblical definition of the term "gospel," but also restores its meaning and offers a first century perspective of Hebraic Spirituality.

How God Became King
Author: Tom Wright
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281068909
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
'It has been slowly dawning on me over many years that there is a fundamental problem deep at the heart of Christian faith and practice as I have known them . . . we have all forgotten what the four Gospels are about.' With that surprising assertion, Tom Wright launches this ground-breaking work in which he helps us to see the gospel story in radically a new light, and to acknowledge that, for many generations, the Church has been avoiding its full impact and holding back from proclaiming its full meaning. 'Classic Wright: clear, accessible, robust, engaging and challenging.' Paula Gooder in Third Way 'Scholarly, accessible, insightful and provocative.' Christianity 'Wright argues compellingly that the twin themes of kingdom and cross are inseparably linked. . . This is a much-needed reorientation. The book makes its case for 'rethinking' cogently and deserves widespread attention.' Theology

Book Description
Two Thieves in Paradise is the historical fictional account of the lives of the men who are crucified next to Yeshua (Jesus). Anthony, a Roman mastermind criminal and Cornelius, an oversized thug team up not only to rob the treasury of the Jewish Temple, but moreover, to destroy the reputation of the Jewish leaders. Mary of Magdalene, a prostitute who is possessed by seven demons, lives with Cornelius. They are saving their money to retire one day on a Greek island in paradise. In an unusual turn of events, Cornelius and Mary are separated. Cornelius inadvertently becomes employed by the tiny man Zaccheus, who serves as the Chief Tax Gatherer of Jerusalem.

The Lost Way
Author: Stephen J. Patterson
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062330519
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
In this rigorously researched and thoughtful study, a leading Jesus Seminar scholar reveals the dramatic story behind the modern discovery of the earliest gospels, accounts that do not portray Jesus exclusively as a martyr but recover a lost ancient Christian tradition centered on Jesus as a teacher of wisdom. The church has long advocated the Pauline view of Jesus as deity and martyr, emphasizing his death and resurrection. But another tradition also thrived from Christianity’s beginnings, one that portrayed Jesus as a teacher of wisdom. In The Lost Way, Stephen Patterson, a leading New Testament scholar and former head of the Jesus Seminar, explores this lost ancient tradition and its significance to the faith. Patterson explains how scholars have uncovered a Gospel that preceded at least three of those in the Bible, which is called Q. He painstakingly demonstrates how historical evidence points to the existence of this common source in addition to Mark—recognized as the earliest Gospel—that both Matthew and Luke used to write their accounts. Q contained a collection of Jesus’s teachings without any narrative content and without accounts of the passion, though being the earliest version shared among his first followers—scripture that embodies a very different orientation to the Christian faith. Patterson also explores other examples of this wisdom tradition, from the discovery of the Gospel of Thomas; to the emergence of Apollos, a likely teacher of Christian wisdom; to the main authority of the church in Jerusalem, Jesus’s brother James. The Lost Way offers a profound new portrait of Jesus—one who can show us a new way to live.
