That is the most recent that I have read, but there have been others over the years saying similar things. Aslan just does a very good job of making it accessible to a normal person. The book does a good job of providing context. The reason the Hebrew Bible is important to Christians still is because it helps us understand the world in which Jesus lived. This does the same sort of thing.Thanks !
A lot of people have problems with it because it can challenge their faith, and that makes them fearful. So I don't necessarily recommend it unless you aren't Christian or you can handle a more scholarly bent. Those who believe the gospels to be the gospel truth may be disappointed.
I'll check it out.
I'm Christian based, but very open minded.
On topic.... Does Hilldog believe in either Jesus ?
