For decades scholars have argued that Jesus' teaching fostered
inclusive communities and the full participation of women. Now
Kathleen Corley challenges the assumption that Jesus himself fought
patriarchal limitations on women. Rather the analysis of his
authentic teaching suggests that while Jesus critiques class and
slave/free distinctions in his culture, his critique did not extend
to unequal gender distinctions. The presence of women among his
disciples, she says, is explained on the basis of the presence of
women among many Greco-Roman religions and philosophical groups,
including the Judaism of Jesus' own day.

Can the authentic words and deed of Jesus identified by the Jesus
Seminar furnish a sufficient basis for a credible profile of the
Jesus of history? That is the challenge faced by the contributors
to this volume. Their efforts have resulted in a unique collection
of studied impressions of Jesus. Here readers will see not Jesus
the icon of myth and creed, but a provocative young man of
first-century Palestine whose vision and determination to live the
vision gave birth to a new form of faith and changed the course of
history.
An exciting and engaging book that will appeal not only to
academics but to the film-viewing public, educated lay-persons and
students. Not only will the book aid this audience in a greater
appreciation of the film 'The Passion of the Christ' but perhaps
more importantly it will enable the reader to distinguish between
both the contents of the film and the contents of the Gospels and
between the contents of the film and what may be historically
reconstructed about Jesus. Furthermore the book will aid the reader
to appreciate the contributions that the study of the Gospels and
the historical study of Jesus can make to the discussion of the
film 'The Passion of the Christ'. Jesus and Mel Gibson's The
Passion of the Christ is edited by Kathleen E. Corley, Oshkosh
Northwestern Distinguished Professor and Professor of New Testament
at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and Robert L.
Webb, an independent scholar living near Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
