Anyone have/read any of it yet?

Thoughts/opinions?

Is the book available on-line? If so, where?
 
The Jesus of Nazareth book that I saw many years ago had some stuff in it that was definitely unorthodox. Obviously that stuff didn’t get into the miniseries.

Are you talking about the Franco Zepherelli (spelling?) mini-series?
 
I heard the authors interviewed on TV - Today Show or something like it. It sounded very Jesus Seminar-y. As in, discounting most of the miraculous things in the gospels as later additions.

That said, the scripture scholar involved said he wanted it to be an antidote to the totally implausible drivel from Dan Brown and The DaVinci Code. In that, at least it would be historically plausible.

Authors (plural)? Are you talking about the book written by Pope Benedict XVI ?
 
If we’re talking about the book by B16, it’s not released until next month.
 
The book by Pope Benedict was indeed released on Monday, April 16 in German, Italian and Polish. The English release is due on May 15.

I’d imagine there are a fair few books around with that title. Let’s be clear, this thread is discussing Pope Benedict’s new book.
 
Well, my wife told me she ordered it for me for my birthday. I’m looking forward to it!
