Publisher's Summary
In this highly accessible discussion, Bart Ehrman examines the most recent textual and archaeological sources for the life of Jesus, along with the history of first-century Palestine, drawing a fascinating portrait of the man and his teachings.
Ehrman shows us what historians have long known about the Gospels and the man who stands behind them. Through a careful evaluation of the New Testament (and other surviving sources, including the more recently discovered Gospels of Thomas and Peter), Ehrman proposes that Jesus can be best understood as an apocalyptic prophet - a man convinced that the world would end dramatically within the lifetime of his apostles and that a new kingdom would be created on Earth.
According to Ehrman, Jesus's belief in a coming apocalypse and his expectation of an utter reversal in the world's social organization not only underscores the radicalism of his teachings but also sheds light on both the appeal of his message to society's outcasts and the threat he posed to Jerusalem's established leadership.

I found it very thought provoking. It made me question my assumptions but left me secured in my faith.
A must read for every Christian . The Bible urges us to test every spirit, right? Now is a good time to test your understanding.

Meaningless
I listened to this book on the basis that I think that any attentio npaid ro Jesus might have some value. But as I listened nothing in the text conveyed to me any of the rich meaning I know ro be inherent in the Gospel. Worthy only as an example of how much attention Jesus accrued from folk who intended not to believe in himself and his lesson.
