Summary: Nope
Comment: I wanted to like this book, I really did. Sadly, I could not get through it. Pastor Paul F. M. Zahl wants to reclaim Jesus from the historical movement that wants to reduce him to a simple Jewish teacher, whose teachings were hijacked by the Apostle Paul and turned into a new religion. But, Rev. Zahl spends the first part of the book defending his position against the charge of anti-Semitism. Indeed, he is so defensive that the book just drags as he again and again denies any anti-Semitic feelings.

Combining his defensiveness with a general dryness of writing, I just found this book too much to take. Now, it might be that the book got better later, but Rev. Zahl already lost me, I have moved onto another book. I highly recommend AGAINST this book.
