A Good Word for Jesus

Scriptural, historical, and documentary materials are combined in a novel fashion to examine Jesus’s life and teachings in this innovative religious study. Special emphasis is placed upon deciphering Jesus’s own words and ideas, as well as on comparing what terms such as “messiah” and “resurrection” meant during biblical as opposed to current times, and how these discrepancies have impacted Christian beliefs. The work of contemporary theologians and present-day understandings of the Christian faith are also addressed in a manner that seeks to return authenticity and integrity to the forefront of theological study.

Paul Trudinger is the author of 12 books, including Cool Gospel and Mirrors for Identity, and more than 100 articles on theology. He was a professor of New Testament studies at the University of Winnipeg in Ontario, Canada, for 19 years until his retirement.
