Negative Positive
Title: Worth revisiting.
Review: I read this last year, eschewing many newer political life of Jesus books as I prefer being taught by a "Christian" scholar who believes what Jesus said. I found new and potent ways of looking at Jesus' actions and gleaning more from His examples. I have just finished Obery Hendricks' book of the same title which was well worth reading and fits well with Yoder's but suffers, I think, from over simplification in order to appeal to what is being called the "emerging" Christian paradigm. I do not find that in Yoders work and I think it will maintain its place of importance as a resource.
Is the review positive or negative?
