Crossan was one of the premier scholars of Jesus in the world. Here he introduces the reader to the historical Jesus, relying on the historical record as much as possible, exploring what kind of man he was and what kind of world he lived in. A refreshing read and a highly informative one for those who want to understand the person before churches built institutions around him and his story.

Part travel log and part theological investigation, Resurrecting Easter shares the discoveries of bestselling author and acclaimed Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan and his wife Sarah, made after visiting multiple ancient Eastern churches and monasteries, encountering images that reveal a completely different model for understanding Easter's Resurrection story. Their discoveries reveal a surprising new Christian vision of inclusivity, morality, and hope for the world today.

In this book the author pleads for the reevaluation of the passion stories, which have caused such animus towards the Jews for the past 2000 years.

The authors give Progressives another Christians insights into Jesus that expand upon the more common understandings of the meaning of his life and death. Their journey through the last week of his life is challenging and profoundly inspiring.
