Contents:
The word made flesh, the Jesus of the early church -- The Jewish Jesus, Yeshuah and the rabbis -- The church speaks Jesus and alternative communities -- Isa and Muhammad, the Jesus of Islam -- The Jesus of the soul, understanding the Sufi Jesus -- From the far east, Jesus in Taoism and Buddhism -- Jesus as they saw Him, ideas and images of Christ throughout history -- Chronological list of Jesus traditions and writings.
Summary: We're familiar with the Jesus portrayed in the New Testament, but many people are surprised to learn that a wealth of stories and traditions about Jesus have always existed alongside the usual Biblical sources. 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.
