He handed me that book and said after reading it you will never read the Gospels the same, he was right. As far as the others I have not read them but I do plan on picking them up. Currently, I am reading Sanders, The Historical Figure of Jesus, and it is really challenging. I love the content, the structure, and the overall tone of the book. If you get the chance give it a whirl in the classroom.Bobby Nemethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211180066640576739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-23725114064364335922012-12-27T16:57:59.125-08:002012-12-27T16:57:59.125-08:00I recently used From Jesus to Christ in an intro l...I recently used From Jesus to Christ in an intro level class. It is, like you say, accessible (not sure about "very accessible"). Its chief virtue is that it works for classes on Christian Origins as well as classes on the life of Jesus. It, of course, focuses on a couple of Fredriksen's pet projects. But I really can't complain since I've made a living doing just this.<br /><br />-anthonyAnthony Le Donnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282792648606976883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-45994057848820816932012-12-27T14:07:07.871-08:002012-12-27T14:07:07.871-08:00Thoughts on Paula Fredriksen's From Jesus to C...Thoughts on Paula Fredriksen's From Jesus to Christ and/or Jesus of Nazareth? Both very accessible for non-specialists and primarily introduces the historical Jesus. I have used parts of Jesus of Nazareth in class, but not the entirety of either book. <br /><br />EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
