This portrait of Jesus is unmistakably clear, convincing, challenging, and different. We are introduced to the man as he was before he became enshrined in doctrines, dogmas, and ritual. Nothing is assumed; the histor- ical evidence about Jesus is allowed to speak for itself Here me who was deeply involved with the real problems of his time which what to be the real problems of our time too. This is the story of a Jesus who was unmistakably human. It is not until the last chapter that the author, turning many of our preconceived ideas upside down, shows us a surprisingly new way of understanding what is meant by Jesus' divinity. The book can be read profitably by anyone the scholar, the layman, the religious, and those who no longer know whether they believe or not. "If the New Testament presents no problem to you, if you are confident you understand it when you read it, or hear it read-read no further. This book is not addressed to you. But if you are in that state of grace which finds the New Testament bewildering, difficult, obscure, confused and confusing -read on! You won't find it an easy book, but you will find it worthwhile. "This book would provide a splendid base for a study group of commit- ted, intelligent, socially and politically concerned Christians. It is certainly one to which all such will frequently return." Bishop Alastari Haggart, Primus of the Scottish Episcopalian Church "Albert Nolan's book may not make for completely comfortable reading. It is nonetheless a most valuable and compelling little work. "There is urgency certainly, but never imbalance. Nolan is always lucid, calm, and poised." The Advocate "The book is full of arresting and challenging insights for the Christian of today. Nolan's ideas are stated with passionate conviction and he has read widely and judiciously among modern exegetes of varied schools."
