Yet if Jesus was not taken as divine, he would be of no interest to us. What can that mean now? Paradoxically, the key is his permanent Jewishness. No Christian himself, Jesus actually transcends Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on both a wide range of scholarship as well as his own acute searching as a believer, Carroll takes a fresh look at the most familiar narratives of all—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Far from another book about the “historical Jesus,” he takes the challenges of science and contemporary philosophy seriously. He retrieves the power of Jesus’ profound ordinariness, as an answer to his own last question—what is the future of Jesus Christ?—as the key to a renewal of faith.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amazon Digital Services LLC - KDP Print US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47017990029552,"sku":"9781078232463","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781078232463_p0.jpg?v=1763676084","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781078232463","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
