World Religions

“E. P. Sanders tells us that this is the book he always wanted to write, and it shows. The work breathes deep sympathy towards the subject. A vivid picture of Jewish practice and the underlying convictions is painted, and the account is permeated by fresh insights on page after page. A sheer delight both for a beginner and for a more advanced reader!”

The Christian Way—Reality or Illusion?

Theology

“Can a Christian way of life still make sense, when its otherworldly dimension becomes problematic? Sandy Wedderburn argues that it can. In an intense dialogue with the New Testament, he offers insightful guidance to those of us whose lives are firmly rooted in this world but who still search for meaning in the religious tradition.”

The God of Jesus—Our God?

Theology

“Christian believers may take it for granted that their God is also the God of Jesus. Professor Wedderburn shows that the issue is more complicated, as is the whole problem of God. Helpfully transcending the usual atheist/believer dichotomy, he asks intriguing questions, guiding readers to paths which they may follow in trying to find their own answers.”
