"He comes as yet unknown into a hamlet of Lower Galilee. He is watched by the cold, hard eyes of peasants living long enough at a subsistence level to know exactly where the line is drawn between poverty and destitution. He looks like a beggar yet his eyes lack the proper cringe, his voice the proper whine, his walk the proper shuffle. He speaks about the rule of God and they listen as much from curiosity as anything else. They know all about rule and power, about kingdom and empire, but they know it in terms of tax and debt, malnutrition and sickness, agrarian oppression and demonic possession. What, they really want to know, can this kingdom of God do for a lame child, a blind parent, a demented soul screaming its tortured isolation among the graves that mark the edges of the village?" -- from "The Gospel of Jesus," overture to The Historical Jesus The Historical Jesus reveals the true Jesus--who he was, what he did, what he said. It opens with "The Gospel of Jesus," Crossan's studied determination of Jesus' actual words and actions stripped of any subsequent additions and placed in a capsule account of his life story. The Jesus who emerges is a savvy and courageous Jewish Mediterranean peasant, a radical social revolutionary, with a rhapsodic vision of economic, political, and religious egalitarianism and a social program for creating it. The conventional wisdom of critical historical scholarship has long held that too little is known about the historical Jesus to say definitively much more than that he lived and had a tremendous impact on his followers. "There were always historians who said it could not be done because of historical problems," writes Crossan. "There were always theologians who said it should not be done because of theological objections. And there were always scholars who said the former when they meant the latter.' With this ground-breaking work, John Dominic Crossan emphatically sweeps these notions aside. He demonstrates that Jesus is actually one of the best documented figures in ancient history; the challenge is the complexity of the sources. The vivid portrayal of Jesus that emerges from Crossan's unique methodology combines the complementary disciplines of social anthropology, Greco-Roman history, and the literary analysis of specific pronouncements, anecdotes, confessions and interpretations involving Jesus. All three levels cooperate equally and fully in an effective synthesis that provides the most definitive presentation of the historical Jesus yet attained.… (mais)

A comprehensive determination of who Jesus was, what he did, and what he said.

An excellent and thorough examination of the Historical Jesus, in the line of the "Jesus Seminar". Beware ! This book is in some places very scholar, with lots of references, so it is not an easy reading. It is more a workbook than an introductory book on the subject. ( )

Crossan's full academic study of the historical Jesus. ( )

The two biggest things I took away from Crossan's book were his impressive scholarship and a strengthened conviction that people are faith are called to community with everyone. Everyone, especially "the nobodies" as Crossan calls them, sharing the same food and the same life. ( )

Crossan is one of the most interesting and influential scholars that historical Jesus scholarship has right now. His fundamental view of Jesus is a Jewish peasant Cynic, a social reformer who found God by promoting justice and refusing to play the system of Roman oppression. His understanding of God's Kingdom was acted out in "magic and meals" - eating with sinners and healing the afflicted to make a point about the inversion of class in the Kingdom.

But The Historical Jesus is much more than just those ideas. Crossan examines the Palestinian climate, tossing in influences of Jewish culture and Greco-Roman culture, a hundred years on either side of Jesus. This is a vast and detailed scope of history, but it kind of overwhelms the first half of the book. Crossan spends a lot of time with Josephus, for example - good for examining the Jewish-Roman War, but only tangential to the historical Jesus. Once Crossan hits his stride with the Gospels, however, it's a great and thorough examination of how Jesus related to his culture and religion.

For a briefer, more concentrated work by Crossan about Jesus, people unfamiliar with his work/historical Jesus studies might be better off with Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography. The Historical Jesus almost functions best as a reference book; there's a lot going on here, and I know that I'm going to come back to it often because it has a lot to offer, but it's not the most approachable book on the subject.

In the beginning was the performance; not the word alone, not the deed alone, but both, each indelibly marked with the other forever.
