{"product_id":"who-was-jesus-9780802871817","title":"Who Was Jesus?","description":"\u003cp\u003eDid the historical person Jesus really regard himself as the Son of God? What did Jesus actually stand for? And what are we to make of the early Christian conviction that Jesus physically rose from the dead?\u003cbr\u003e In this book N. T. Wright considers these and many other questions raised by three controversial books about Jesus: Barbara Thiering's \u003cem\u003eJesus the Man\u003c\/em\u003e, A. N. Wilson's \u003cem\u003eJesus: A Life\u003c\/em\u003e, and John Shelby Spong's \u003cem\u003eBorn of a Woman\u003c\/em\u003e. While Wright agrees with those authors that the real, historical Jesus has many surprises in store for institutional Christianity, he also presents solid reasons for discounting their arguments, claiming that they -fail to reach anything like the right answer- as to who Jesus really was.\u003cbr\u003e Written from the standpoint of professional biblical scholarship yet assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, Wright's \u003cem\u003eWho Was Jesus?\u003c\/em\u003e shows convincingly that much can be gained from a rigorous historical assessment of what the Gospels say about Jesus. This is a book to engage skeptics and believers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e N. T.
