Reviews"This is not your typical "Jesus" book. Some essays cover pressing questions in historical Jesus research, others function as a kind of cultural critique of the historical quest for Jesus, while still others constitute reflections on the impact of Jesus scholarship on Jewish-Christian relations. All in all, a compelling collection of thoughts on the modern study of Jesus and its cultural implications for both Jews and Christians. -Pamela Eisenbaum, Associate Professor of Biblical Studies and Christian Origins, Iliff School of Theology, "Scholarly publications on the Historical Jesus have reached floodtide proportions, but all this erudition will profit us little if it remains dammed up in the academy. The morally necessary next step is to acquaint the thinking public with this work, to have it stimulate and inspire nonscholarly communities to the new prospects for theology, for biblical understanding, and most especially, for inter-faith dialogue. The various essays in this volume-thought-provoking, timely, original-lead us on our way. Pick up and read!" -Paula Fredriksen, Professor of Religion, Boston University, Author of From Jesus to Christ and Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, "This anthology is a fine introduction for lay readers to some central issues surrounding the historical Jesus."-Robert J. Miller, Westar Institute, Religious Studies Review, Volume 27, Number 4, October 2001, "...accessible and non-technical...Recommended for all libraries supporting work on Jesus and the origins of Christianity." --P.

SynopsisOver the past two hundred years, several scholars have concluded that Jesus was a Cynic, a magician, a witch, a wise teacher, and a Jewish apocalyptic prophet. These papers, collected from two conferences at Creighton University, draw on some of the best contemporary scholarship in historical Jesus studies. Catholic scholars Luke Timothy Johnson, Daniel Harrington, and Monika Hellwig provide overviews of the history of the search for the historical Jesus. Jewish scholars Alan Segal, Amy-Jill Levine, and Adele Reinhartz explore the significance of Jesus for Judaism and for contemporary culture. With clear insight, the essays point out the ways that historical Jesus scholarship can be applied to everyday issues. The essays offer a unique perspective on the historical Jesus that provides a view contrary to many other contemporary books on Jesus.Contributors include: Bernard Brandon Scott (University of Tulsa); Luke Timothy Johnson (Emory University); Daniel Harrington (Weston School of Theology); Monika Hellwig (Georgetown University); Michael Cook (Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion); Amy-Jill Levine (Vanderbilt University Divinity School); Adele Reinhartz (McMaster University); Alan Segal (Barnard College); and Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus (Wheaton College).Bryan F. Le Beau is the John C. Kenefick Faculty Chair in the Humanities at Creighton University. Leonard Greenspoon holds the Philip and Ethel Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization and is Chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies at Creighton University. Dennis Hamm, S.J., is Professor of Theology at Creighton University.>, A collection of essays that examines the Galilean peasant named Jesus-the historical understanding of him and what difference that makes-from the perspective of Catholic and Jewish scholars., Over the past two hundred years, several scholars have concluded that Jesus was a Cynic, a magician, a witch, a wise teacher, and a Jewish apocalyptic prophet.
