About this audiobook
In this exciting book, Paula Fredriksen explains the variety of New Testament images of Jesus by exploring the ways that the new Christian communities interpreted his mission and message in light of the delay of the Kingdom he had preached.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Saw the PBS special and it’s great. I’m sure this book would be just as great if every note WASN’T read. Re-record w/out notes & it’ll be a great read.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book presents the NT in a plausible historical context that radically altered my understanding of the influences and origins of Christianity. It’s a rich, scholarly account of things you’ll likely never learn at a Bible college or from a pulpit.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Si la historia es importante para la iglesia, entonces la historia sin distorsiones es muy importante, y solo al cumplir con esta obligación con integridad puede la iglesia continuar el mensaje proclamado por los primeros apóstoles, ampliado por Pablo y reflejado en los evangelios, que el plano horizontal del ser humano y el plano vertical de lo divino se reunió en la cruz de Jesús de Nazaret.
