Abstract

Hot on the heels of the controversial television documentary, The Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls (and further removed from the equally controversial film, The Last Temptation of Christ), comes this readable account of The Secret Life o f Jesus. All three reinterpret the traditional view of Jesus put forward by the Christian church by emphasising the humanity of Jesus. This is an important corrective to lopsided ecclesiastical practice.
