Jesus of Nazareth
Pope Benedict XVI
Doubleday, 2007
Sublime
This book is not so much a traditional biography per say but more of a biographical critical study. What made me buy it was an interest both in its subject and its author. The Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, is a figure who greatly fascinates me. He's a master's master and a ...

Michael J. McClymond
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2004
level headed reading

InterVarsity Press, 1997
An outstanding overview of contemporary Jesus scholarship
Yes, Ben Witherington is a (relative) conservative, but don't hold that against him. Yes, he has strong opinions, but don't hold that against him, either, because they are well argued. The fact remains that this is the best overview of "Third Quest" Jesus scholarship I ...

The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Thomas Jefferson
Applewood Books, 2006
An interesting book from an historic standpoint.
This book is historically important, and used in US military schools as a template of good values.
This book is merely a cut an paste of most of the "interesting values" in some of the gospels accepted and selected by the church.
I do wish that Thomas Jefferson ...

But God had selected him for a special mission: to look after two of the greatest treasures who have ever been on earth - Jesus and Mary. The figure of Joseph is also an incentive God has given us to stir up hope in the ordinary person. Joseph of ...
