When Christians were Jews (That is, Now) (Book) - 5/17/2007 9:46:16 AM
A carefuly, and meticulously, constructed journey through Mark examining the misconceptions that modern Christians have about their Jewish roots. The book is bursting with information and probably lends itself best to an academic environment. However, there is lot to confront any reader. To name a few: Mother Mary may have been a prostitute, Jesus illegitimate, Judas actually acting on Jesus' own suicidal orders, the "my god, my god" plea of Jesus on the cross not related to the Passion but to the fall of the Temple, and finally, among his conclusions; "...Jesus would find a much better match for his own spirituality in most contemporary Jewish congregations than in most Christian churches." (227).
Nevertheless his work is maintsream and very well conceived. Well aware of mainstrean scholarship he also offers alternative approaches related to his title. It's thought provoking stuff but the reader will need to be patient to get all that's there.

Anything about infusing the workplace with Christian values should be shouted from the roof tops!
