Contents:
Summary: The author poses a double-edged challenge: to grow in our understanding the historical Jesus within the Palestinian world of the first century and to follow Jesus more faithfully into the postmodern world of the twenty-first century. In the book he provides a fresh, provocative and historically credible portrait that grips readers with its clarity and its full accounting of the facts. The Jesus he unveils has his feet solidly planted in first-century Palestine and yet is just as clearly the resurrected Son of God. Wright compels us to rethink our standard images of Jesus so that we will never read the Gospels the same way again. In the DVD, Wright presents the political, historical and theological issues of the first century and today regarding the startling claim that Jesus rose from the dead.
The challenge of studying Jesus -- The challenge of the kingdom -- The challenge of the symbols -- The crucified Messiah -- Jesus & God -- The challenge of Easter -- Walking to Emmaus in a postmodern world -- The light of the world.
