Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism - among other religions - have created their own tales about Jesus, sometimes out of necessary self-preservation and reaction to the claims of the church, but more often through thoughtful and artistic adaptation. The Other Jesus explores these varied traditions and offers a fresh exploration of Jesus - new perspectives that challenge long-accepted beliefs about his place in history and his impact on other religions.-- INSIDE COVER UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=845935 ER -
