The Other Jesus : Stories from World Religions Hardback
by Todd Outcalt
Hardback
Description
We're familiar with the Jesus portrayed in the New Testament, but many people are surprised to learn that a wealth of stories and traditions about Jesus have always existed alongside the usual Biblical sources.
Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism-among other religions-have created their own tales about Jesus, sometimes out of necessary self-preservation and reaction to the claims of the church, but more often through thoughtful and artistic adaptation.
The Other Jesus explores these varied traditions and offers a fresh exploration of Jesus-new perspectives that challenge long-accepted beliefs about his place in history and his impact on other religions.
