This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.Thousands of books have been written about Jesus of Nazareth, but in this series I explore what it was like to be Jesus. The story has three threads to it. The first thread is of how Jesus is faced with a job offer without a job description. Everyone had their own opinion about what the Messiah was supposed to do. Jesus had to figure out his mission, develop his message and formulate an action plan without their help. He saw from the be...

Jesus of Nazareth: Poking the Hornets' Nest and Kicking the Hornets' Nest are works of narrative theology, blending recent theological insight, biblical texts, and historical context to reimagine the life of Jesus from a deeply personal perspective. Rather than retelling well-worn religious narratives, the books aim to explore what it felt like to be Jesus-his mission, struggles, and the emotional toll of his ministry.The...

Hurgando en el avispero es la primera de dos partes que describen los complicados retos a los que se enfrentó Jesús. Ambas obras son de teología narrativa más que de análisis puramente académicos. Se apoyan en los Evangelios y en otras fuentes contemporáneas.A menudo suponemos que Jesús lo tenía todo claro, pero su "oferta de trabajo" no venía acompañada de una descripción del puesto. ¿Era realmente el Mesías o est...

Thousands of books have been written about Jesus of Nazareth, these two books are different. They are about what it was like to be him. I do not stray far from the gospel texts, but from my studies I have been able to put together a coherent story of Jesus' teaching and ministry as well as a description of the forces that rose against him. I examine in my narrative questions Jesus had to ask himself, "Was he indeed the messiah?" Any sane person would have to ask that. Then, if he was "What...

The author intentionally uses a cryptic style, to address the age old questions surrounding our existence as individuals. The book is intended for under 30’s. and in the first chapter, the writer dismisses our belief or non belief in God as hopelessly inadequate to our needs. The author poses the question, “Does God believe in you?” and referencing some biblical authorities dares to assert God thought you were a good idea in the first place and will not change His/Her mind. In other words,...

Desarrolló una comunidad de seguidores, les enseñó y formó, y luego los condujo a Jerusalén para presenciar su enfrentamiento con las autoridades del Templo. Hasta aquí todo bien. Jesús definió su misión como la de ser enviado a las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel, pero esa responsabilidad ...
