The Secret Message of Jesus

Theology

“What Brian McLaren brings to the task of understanding and responding to the person, personality, and program of Jesus is an exceptional way of imagining. His gift is to bring together an intelligent reading of the gospels, an acute sensitivity to the beauty and brutality of humankind, and a compelling and far-reaching grasp of the possibilities inherent in Jesus’ message. This book should renew our hope.”

Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Is the portrayal of Jesus in the Gospel of John shaped by Jewish Wisdom theology? You may not agree with every claim made in this thorough and methodical investigation, but it’s hard to resist Dustin Smith’s overall thesis that John’s account of Jesus’ career retraces the story of the sending of personified divine Wisdom into the world. His book is an excellent entry point to this field of study.”
