Recenzii
"His book reminds the church that the New Testament is a book one needs to learn how to read, and that the extravagant claims of Christianity are not honoured when accompanied by cultural imperialism. And faith in the person of Jesus is a precarious and astonishing gift - not a self-evident truth to be read off the page of the Gospels." --Church Times 11/10/02
"This is Mack at his best--thoughtful and sometimes brilliant; articulate and sometimes eloquent; persuasive and sometimes provocative and disturbing. The agenda and focus of the Christian Origins project that this book announces and begins to model are compelling. This study of Christian myth-making has the potential to help a new generation and demographic of New Testament and Early Christianity scholars make sustained creative connections to other fields and discourses. For those who have long needed encouragement to leave behind the 'merely' theological-historical antiquarianist orientation of New Testament studies, Mack's book should be considered a welcome beacon and roadmap, signalling one dramatic way outward."--Vincent L. Wimbush
"Mack lucidly presents a complex argument to scholars and general readers alike. Moreover, his care in outlining his project opens a window on the research process. Some may find Mack's critique unsettling, but being unsettling in the study of religion 'may finally be worthwhile.'"--Booklist
