Embracing the Human Jesus is a sincere effort to think anew about
Christianity and Christian practice on the foundation of a purely
human Jesus. Against the inevitable criticism that such a Jesus
undermines the historic faith of the church, David Galston finds a
human Jesus who inspires a new era of honesty in the practice of
Christianity. The book expresses the awareness held by many
scholars that the historical Jesus was an end-time prophet not well
suited to the contemporary world. Galston counters that, by
pointing out that whether taking the apocalyptic or non-apocalyptic
view, virtually all scholars see Jesus as a participant in the
Jewish wisdom tradition. On this often marginalised foundation,
Galston proposes that the trajectory of the ancient wisdom of Jesus
can be grasped in the contemporary world and can find life in the
thinking and practices of a new church. The book combines both
academic theory and basic Christian experience to offer a simple
model that will help communities take the historical Jesus to
church.
