The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish PeasaConventional wisdom has long held that too little is known about the historical Jesus to say definitively much more than that he lived and had a tremendous impact on his followers.

Conventional wisdom has long held that too little is known about the historical Jesus to say definitively much more than that he lived and had a tremendous impact on his followers. But with his ground-breaking work The Historical Jesus, John Dominic Crossan demonstrates that Jesus is actually one of the best documented figures in ancient history; the challenge is in the complexity of the sources.
Crossan's unique methodology combines social anthropology, Greco-Roman history, and the literary analysis of specific pronouncements, confessions and anecdotes involving Jesus. This synthesis of all three disciplines provides the most definitive presentation of the historical Jesus yet attained. The Jesus who emerges is a savvy and courageous Jewish Mediterranean peasant, a radical social revolutionary, with a rhapsodic vision of economic, political, and religious egalitarianism and a social program for creating it. The Historical Jesus reveals the true Jesus--who he was, what he did, and what he said. John Dominic Crossan is generally regarded as the leading historical Jesus scholar in the world. He is the author of several bestselling books including The Historical Jesus, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Birth of Christianity, and Who Killed Jesus? He lives in Clermont, FL.

Enjoyable
Format: Kindle
It is a good read. I enjoy the leafing characters. The plot was well done.
But it could use a bit of better editing. There were several mistakes.

as an addition to the Scottish Ladies Detective agency, a new lady sleuth
Format: Kindle
What a wonderful mystery, a grand heroine who is polishing her detective skills.
All the pomp of the gentile classes at their play. Murders, theft, and dogs in the highlands, what could be better?

Promising start to new mystery series.
Format: Kindle
Lady Persephone "Poppy" Proudfoot attends a house party at an estate, meets some American actors, and tries to solve the murder of a stranger to the village whose body is discovered by the lake. The first in a series, this book is a quick read with a plot that moves along, although some of the large cast of characters seem superfluous (e.g., the American visitors). Poppy is a widow, a law-school graduate (in the 1920s!), and ran a hospital for wounded soldiers during WW1, so an interesting character to read about. A promising beginning to the series and I look forward to the next book. Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the eARC.
