by
"Jesus and Buddha" uncovers the strange and unexplained parallels among Jesus's sermons, Buddha's sayings, and the teachings of Zen Buddhist masters. At the heart of these amazing parallels lies the question: How could Jesus, living 500 years after Buddha in a land 3,000 miles from India, teach the same ideas?
Jesus the Exorcist
by Graham H. Twelftree
That the synoptic writers believed that Jesus cast out demons and that such a role figured prominently in the Synoptics' portrait of him can scarcely be denied. And yet, only scant scholarly attention has been focused on Jesus' role as exorcist. Even less consideration has been given to the significance of Jesus as exorcist for understanding the historical Jesus. Now, in a provocative and insightful study, Graham Twelftree helps New Testament scholars move beyond such myopia. Twelftree examines exorcists and exorcisms in first-century Palestine, assesses the New Testament accounts of demons and their demise, and explores the implications and significance of the fact that Jesus was indeed an exorcist. The volume appeared originally in the noted German series Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament.
Characters of the Passion
by Fulton J. Sheen
This inspiring book by one of Christianity's most prolific authors brings to life many of those who played important roles in the "Eternal Drama of the Cross." This "journey" to Calvary dramatically introduces the reader to a deep and personal knowledge of faith. Characters of the Passion discusses the increasingly important part faith plays in our modern world. It gives the reader a better understanding and a fuller meaning of faith. It inspires those who may be wavering in their beliefs by bringing comfort and strength; to others, it reaffirms the knowledge that true faith is the most powerful weapon in the world today.

Jesus & the Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls: Unlocking the Secrets of His Life Story
Thiering, Barbara
San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1992 xi, 451pp, index, bibliography, chronology, bw ills, maps. Or gray papered boards with gray cloth spine. Very slight edge wear to jacket. Remainder line on bottom of pages. A bold new reading of the origins of Christianity based on the author's discovery of the interpretive key to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament. Recognizes 2 levels of meaning- the symbolic surface level of miracle and mystery designed to inspire awe and fear in the 'babes in Christ' and a stylized yet purely hisotrical level that tells the story of Jesus' very human life. Shows that Jesus was borninto the royal priestly line of a strict Jewish sect at Qumran not Bethlehem; was born out of wedlock to a betrothed and thus 'officially' virgin woman; did not die on the cross but was drugged and later revived in the burial cave; married twice and fathered three children; and more. Controversial, and scholarly work.. Second Printing. 1/2 cloth/ Papered Boards. Very Good/Fine. 8vo. ( more information)
