Critics Review
“Open this book and see Jesus as you’ve never seen him … This is one heck of a good read. And it left me feeling better than ever about the Jesus we try to serve and follow.” –National Catholic Reporter“Engaging and lively … Chilton has done an admirable job of taking us into Jesus’ world and witnessing the life of one of history’s most important figures.” –Charlotte Observer“Bruce Chilton, an Anglican priest and religion professor, has written a readable and compelling profile of Jesus and the culture and times in which he lived. Rabbi Jesus is a scholarly pursuit that … reads more like a novel. The biography flows with the fluidity of an adventure tale, rich in characters, texture, and detail.” –Herald-Sun (Durham, N.C.)
