Jesus the Nazarene

World Religions

“Jesus the Nazarene combines common sense with great erudition, a formula rarer in Life of Jesus studies than one might imagine. A. Jordan systematically sets forth Talmudic references and discussions about the Jewish heretic and Christian Savior. . . . Jordan’s aim is modest: if there does exist a coherent and plausible ancient non-Christian account of Jesus, alternative to that in Christian Scripture, doesn’t it deserve fair consideration?”

The Jesus Legend

Theology

“I am gratified that my friends and colleagues Paul Eddy and Greg Boyd have taken my work as seriously as they have in this comprehensively researched book. Bravo for their repudiation of any bias of philosophical naturalism! Amen to their urging that the burden of proof is on whomever would reject any bit of gospel tradition as unhistorical. Other than this, I would dispute almost every one of their assertions—but that is why I recommend the book! What can you learn if you only reinforce your own viewpoint? I urge any reader of my books to read this one alongside them!”

Unlocking the Puzzle

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Unlocking the Puzzle, Smith analyzes the Gospel of Mark as a huge chiastic (AB-B'A') structure, made of longer and shorter chiasms (pericopes and groups of them displaying the same structure). . . . The end product is a hypothetical reconstruction of the Gospel as Mark originally wrote it. It is staggering to imagine this eagle-eyed scholar's fantastic grasp of this ancient text! Mark himself would learn a thing or two from Unlocking the Puzzle!”
