The Hidden Jesus
by Donald Spoto
The renowned biographer of Hitchcock, Olivier, and Bergman examines the life of Jesus in a revolutionary work that celebrates his transcendent power.The Hidden Jesus, appearing in this age of great spiritual crisis, presents us with a fascinating vision of a Jesus Christ who remained hidden not only to his contemporaries but also to most of us today. Donald Spoto, trained as a monk and as an academic theologian, returns to his roots in this powerful, illuminating, and spiritually enriching biography of a man who is not merely a figure of history but a living being, whose divine presence remains both real and effective.Examining ancient texts, the latest discoveries of Biblical scholarship, and the Old and New Testaments themselves, Spoto presents a portrait of a Jew, born in Nazareth, whose ultimate identity and significance began to dawn on his friends only gradually after the first Easter--by virtue of a series of remarkable experiences unprecedented in human history.Spoto's portrait is extraordinary in its combination of deep insights and accessible presentation; indeed, he addresses himself to a wide spectrum of modern readers, and one need not be a scholar to understand and appreciate this book. Controversial in its assessments, and particularly in its examination of recent doctrinal theology, The Hidden Jesus demonstrates that:-The New Testament passages on the virginal conception should perhaps not be interpreted literally. Jesus was surely not an only child, but the eldest of seven.-Jesus was born in Nazareth, but Matthew and Luke placed the birth in Bethlehem to establish a religious truth--Jesus's messianic relationship to King David.-Parts of the New Testament have an anti-Semitic bias that is certainly not part of revealed truth.-Art and bad preaching have told us of a resuscitated corpse, but that is an inadequate understanding of the Resurrection. Jesus did not, indeed, rot in the grave and no body was ever found. But the deepest meaning of the Resurrection is far greater than usually conceived.-Heaven is not a place to which one goes, but a completely new state of being into which one enters.-There is no legitimate barrier to women being priests.-One cannot be a true follower of Jesus and endorse capital punishment.-Sexual matters should not be seen as the only gauge of morality, since Jesus had far greater concerns, and counted prostitutes among his closest friends.Always grounded in the ministry and character of Jesus of Nazareth, this book is not only a new life of Jesus, but also a profound treatment on the language of faith and religion. In essence, The Hidden Jesus transcends mere history and becomes a meditation on eternal life--that of both Jesus and the reader.
Lamb
by Christopher Moore
The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" ( Philadelphia Inquirer ). Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshuafrom his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.
