From the quest for the historical Jesus to Judaism and Christianity's foundation in it, to the debates surrounding Paul, it's all here in the Religion section.

The Real Jesus, by Luke Timothy Johnson, gives an excellent perspective on one of todays hottest issues — the quest for the historical Jesus. In addition, Ben Witherington's book, The Jesus Quest, gives the best overall account of who the player's are and what they are saying in this debate.

OUR FATHER ABRAHAM: Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith
Marvin R Wilson


Although the roots of Christianity run deep into Hebrew soil, many Christians are regrettably uniformed about the rich Hebrew heritage of the church. This volume delineates the link between Judaism and Christianity, between the Old and the New Testaments, and calls Christians to reexamine their Hebrew roots so as to effect a more authentically biblical lifestyle.
 



PAUL AND EMPIRE Religion and Power in Roman Imperial Society
edited by Richard A. Horsley


Over the centuries, Paul has been understood as the prototypical convert from Judaism to Christianity. At the time of Paul's conversion, however, Christianity did not yet exist. Moreover, Paul says nothing to indicate that he was abandoning Judaism or Israel. He, in fact, understood his mission as the fulfillment of the promises to Israel and of Israel's own destiny. In brief, Paul's gospel and mission were set over against the Roman Empire, not Judaism.

This anthology brings together incisive and groundbreaking essays on:

1 - "The Gospel of Imperial Salvation," revealing how the imperial cult, by its dominance in urban public space, created a pervasive presence of imperial beneficence and salvation integrated into traditional Greek religion;

2 - "Patronage and Power," disclosing the networks of patronage relations that held the empire together so as to render occupying troops and imperial bureaucracy unnecessary in urbanized areas such as Corinth and Ephesus, key centers of Paul's mission;

3 - "Paul's Articulation of an Alternative Gospel," discerning how Paul borrows much of the key language of the imperial religion in preaching his own gospel of a Lord who had been crucified by imperial rulers but vindicated by God as the true universal Lord;

4 - "The Assemblies of an Alternative International Society," exploring ways in which the assemblies Paul founded in Asia Minor and Greece were to embody patterns alternative to the hierarchical human relations that dominated Roman Imperial society.
