Summary: Jesus Christ as a human being
Comment: Elliott's book presents a very human picture of the life of Jesus, giving an intimate view of what such a person would have felt and thought. It is thought provoking in that it shows the simple but powerful ideas underlying his message to the people of his time, and how he understood what he was trying to do. It is expressive on the subject of Jesus's response to his impending suffering, and it makes a powerful statement about how these ideas apply to life today. It is absorbing to read, and you will find yourself thinking about it quite a bit later.

Rating: 5
Summary: Mind-blowing
Comment: This is an amazing look at Jesus. I was really moved, and I felt much closer to my faith. This crossed a lot of bridges for me, and answered a lot of questions I had long been struggling with. I loved this book.

Summary: The Greatest Story Ever Told
Comment: Couldn't Put It Down! Fascinating!
Who would have thought that this old, familiar story which everybody knows could be told again in such a gripping, evocative way? And yet be so faithful to the literal Gospels? He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and a very fancy barmitzvah. I've read other books purporting to be Jesus' story in his own words, but nothing like this. Norman Mailer's book was almost fundamentalist in its exaggerated, walking-on-eggs reverence for Jesus--I had expected something more daring. Other stories, like JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, attempt to make a joke out of Jesus ' ministry and the Gospels, although it's the most serious story ever told. Elliott's long interview with Jesus, on the other hand, is neither overtly fearful of making waves, or a satire. It's just a man talking about his life. And according to the Gospels, Jesus' was a very human life indeed. Was he God incarnate? Maybe. Was he the son of God? Definitely. Did he fulfill the Jewish prophecies of a Messiah? Absolutely, according to Isaiah, Zechariah, and The Book of Wisdom. There are those who say that he never lived, but who would invent such a story? What cult would give us a canon the 4 books of which-- the Gospels---contradict each other so much that they can only be true? What cult would give us a divinity so weak and flawed that his enemies trampled him with impunity and men turned away? No, Jesus' basic story can only be true. He gave us a new way of looking at the world, and Elliott has captured both his godliness and his humanity perfectly. This is a god who knows how to weep and tastes human life in all its tragedies, pain, happiness and joy.
