Yeshua

by Leonard J. Swidler · 1988

Cover of Yeshua

The author speaks as a modern Christian theologian--not so much about Christ, but about the historical Jesus, or rather, Yeshua, that religious Jew who walked this earth almost two thousand years ago. Examines the "Jewishness" of Yeshua, looking at him through the refracting lenses of the Gospel and other helpful documents. Shows how Yeshua provides a model on how to live a full human life: taking on responsibility for the oppressed society, breaking through anti-feminine stereotypes and providing an androgynous model for all to follow.
