Summary: One of the most important books ever written
Comment: Albert Nolan clarifies Christianity as it has needed clarification for centuries.
When "Christianity" became a religion, it lost its connection to Jesus.
Albert Nolan gives Jesus back to us; a Jesus we can identify with.
Reading this book saved me from leaving the ministry.
P.D.

Summary: true nature of Jesus Christ!
Comment: This book really opened my eyes to Jesus Christ, "the son of man." I recommend this book, especially if you are not Christian. In fact, most Christians would probably reject this book upon first glance.
Albert takes the reader on a very candid retracement of events, including facts missing from the bible, such as, on ancient Roman record, Jesus was tried for high treason, and not being the King of Jews, as was inscribed in anger by a mixed mob of Romans and angry Jews at his crucifiction.
Nolan portrays a Jesus who saw that Judaism of the era was doing more harm than good. Jesus set out on a mission of truth, and was becoming an influential leader, which was a threat to both Judaism and the Roman rulers. Jesus is shown as a humanist who mingled with the lower class, which was not allowed in his day, similar to the story of Gandhi!
This is a fantastic book, but not for those who believe in the fairy tale Jesus which most christians can't seem to shake.

Summary: In Your Face Jesus
Comment: I was so stunned to read the one-star review that I had to write. Above anything I have ever read, this book changed my life. It was a clarion call for we who say we are Christians to wake up and absorb the radically uncomfortable messages of the real Jesus, Jesus the Jew, the Jesus who existed before the apostles hit the road to create the belief systems and institutions that undergird Christianity. His profound messages speak of love for the dispossessed, the exploited, the forgotten, and challenge our rationalizations about why we deserve to enjoy such cushy lives without thinking twice about our impact elsewhere in the world. If you want to learn, and to grow deeply and broadly in your faith and in its expression in the world, read this book. But be warned: you may feel a strong pull to radically change your own life -- for the sake of others.
