About this product

Product Information

Was Jesus born of a virgin? Did he know he was the Messiah? Was he bodily resurrected from the dead? Did he intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was Jesus God? In The Meaning of Jesus two leading Jesus scholars with widely divergent views go right to the heart of these questions and others, presenting the opposing visions of Jesus that shape our faith today. In alternating chapters, Marcus Borg, the most popular revisionist voice on Jesus and a member of the Jesus Seminar, and N. T. Wright, the most prominent standard-bearer for the traditional stance and an outspoken critic of the Jesus Seminar, present their views of who Jesus was, what he taught, and what he did. Candid, spirited, and thoughtfully debated, this compelling discourse will stimulate fresh ideas and intense dialogue among anyone concerned with what it means to be a Christian today.

The Meaning of Jesus is ...different.
Professors Borg and Wright give a good comparison of two views of the historic Jesus. For Professor Borg, there appears to be a dichotomy of sorts involved in being a Christian. First, there is the historical “pre-Easter Jesus,” who was a Spirit person, healer, social prophet, and movement initiator. Then there is the “post-Easter Jesus” who is messiah, Son of God, et cetera. The problem is that the two are, in effect, different people. The gospels tell a story that is "metaphorized" and historically inaccurate. Dr. Wright, on the other hand, comes down on the orthodox side of the argument. He accepts the gospels as historically accurate based on verifiable history as well as his own faith in Christ. He says that we cannot simply discount some biblical material, assuming that the church created it after Christ's death. The key issue for both historians, it seems, is faith.Read full review
