Jesus at Thirty

“At about thirty Jesus was rejected by his own family, who considered him to be 'out of his mind.' What happened to Jesus to evoke this reaction? Drawing from his detailed knowledge of the Bible, Judaism, and modern psychology, and his experience as a psychological case worker, Miller brings it all together in a well-argued case history.”

The Sage from Galilee

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Flusser is not only brilliant and thoroughly familiar with all classical sources, Jewish sources, and later Christian sources that bear on our understanding of Jesus; he is also passionately concerned that the historical Jesus be taken seriously. He readily admits that he, an observant Jew, personally identifies himself with the worldview of Jesus, both moral and political: 'The content of Jesus' teachings and the approach he embraced have always had the potential to change our world and prevent the greatest part of evil and suffering.' For years I have been recommending this as the best book on Jesus available. No better way to discover the Jewishness of Jesus and possible links to Qumran than to read this book.”

The Story of Original Sin

Theology

“John Toews is the first Mennonite theologian to do a detailed study of the origins and concept of original sin. He offers a compelling argument that sin is a matter of choice, not a state into which all humans are born. This book is a must-read for all who search for understanding of God's truth in their own lives.”
