Title: J.D. Crossan does the impossible
Product review: John D. Crossan has almost done the impossible. He wrote a 600 page book on the subject of the historical Jesus, and almost never mentioned Jesus. There is an extensive portrait of first century Palestine, and a detailed description of the life of a commoner. We learn everything there is to know about Josephus, get the opinion of seventeen different archeologists about what Gallilee was like. But there is no Jesus. It's as if Titian painted the death of Socrates, but left the main character out of the picture. Very disappointing.
