JESUS OF NAZARETH Part One: POKING THE HORNETS' NEST: Jesus Develops His Mission Statement and an Action Plan (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781969422126)

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 author introduces fictional elements, such as a diary from Annas (the father-in-law of Caiaphas), to create a compelling antagonist and provide narrative balance. Drawing from historical sources like Josephus, the books challenge traditional interpretations of who was responsible for Jesus' death-shifting blame away from the Jewish people and focusing instead on the Temple elite.The second volume tackles the resurrection with a grounded, reflective approach, incorporating insights from the Turin Shroud and gospel texts. Ultimately, these books attempt to strip away myth and religious distortion to reveal a more human, relatable Jesus-and to spark renewed faith, not just religious tradition.
