The way of Jesus means that despite our tears and scars, we can become vessels of divine light.A young man loses his wife while their baby escapes without injury. In abject grief he reaches out to a friend for solace. What words of comfort are even possible? How can Jesus repair and renew these lives in this world? Author Bruce Chilton begins in the everyday. He shows how following Jesus not only repairs shattered lives, but renews them. While no broken life is ever simply reassembled and although there is no magic going back to the pristine, repair and renewal will empower us to truly live and love again. But our path requires something from us--mindful practice of Jesus' teachings about the soul, spirit, kingdom, insight, forgiveness, mercy, and glory.

A concise and lucid introduction to the foundations of Judaism and Christianity, using key documents to examine the similarities and differences between the two faiths.

These two immensely distinguished writers show how the writings of the early church emerged from communities which defined themselves in Judaic terms even as they followed Jesus; how the early movement is best seen as 'Christian Judaism'.

This provocative volume provides a unique and controversial analysis of the genesis and evolution of Judaeo-Christian intellectual thought.
