From Jesus to Christ: The Origins of the New Testament Images of Christ by Paula Fredriksen

3.0

I found this book to be very interesting. The author analyzes how the teachings and life of Jesus were interpreted depending upon when the writer (Saint Paul, or the authors of Mathew, Luke, Mark and John) were writing. The first generation of Christians really believed that the kingdom of God was at hand and the apocalypse was near. As time wore on and the world (obviously) did not end, subsequent Christian gospel writers modified their philosophy accordingly.
