Crossan paints an interesting picture of Jesus and it is indeed a different vision of Jesus than traditional religion supports. Your job is not to slam Crossan for offering an academic (non-religious) perspective of the life of Jesus. Rather, address this post question:
Instruction:
- Key Ideas: What is the new understanding of Jesus that Crossan presents (discuss a little about his methodology and also his research).
- Your Thoughts: Do you think someone can be still Christian and embrace this new understanding of Jesus, or does the new biography destroy a religious view and attitude? Finally, do you like the Jesus the Crossan uncovers in his research? Explain with insight.
