Review The Changing Faces of Jesus / Penguin Books Ltd:In 1926, the Protestant scholar Rudolph Bultmann wrote, "I do indeed think that we can now know almost nothing concerning the life and personality of Jesus. " Modern Biblical criticism had turned the gospels from solid rock to quicksand and suddenly the attempt to glimpse the real Jesus seemed pointless. Then Geza Vermes published Jesus the Jew, in which he presented Jesus as a charismatic Jewish teacher. In his latest book, The Changing Faces of Jesus, Vermes consolidates his thesis by trying to show how the divine Jesus was a later invention of the Christian Church. To do this he dissects the New Testament, picking out the later "divine Jesus" traditions from the earlier "Jewish teacher" traditions. There are two problems with this kind of scholarship. First the temptation is to reject as "later" the bits of the New Testament which don't fit your thesis. Secondly, all the evidence is so tenuous that as soon as one scholar comes up with a convincing thesis another argues just as convincingly for the opposite view. Vermes writes well in an accessible style and it's good to have readable religious history, but the general reader may not realise this is just one portrait of the historical Jesus among many. If this is the only book one reads on the topic the picture is distorted. [+]However, if Vermes' portrait of Jesus is taken with all the others, a fascinating mosaic portrait of Jesus can be assembled. In that respect, Vermes' work is a valuable piece in the puzzle. -Dwight Longenecker.

Review The Barn at the End of the World: The Apprenticeship of a Quaker, Buddhist Shepherd / Milkweed Editions:Author Mary Rose O'Reilly is a decidedly eclectic woman-confidently blending sheep tending with her Quaker background as well as her passion for Mahayana Buddhism (the ancient form of Buddhism which Vietnamese monk Thich N'hat Hahn has helped to popularise in the West). This may sound like the recipe for a soup of spiritual mush, but nothing could be further from the truth. O'Reilly also happens to be a hysterically funny storyteller who understands the importance of humility when writing spiritual autobiography. (One reviewer called O'Reilly a "social anthropologist from the Planet Mongo, a stand-up mystic going for the belly laugh. ") Whether she's talking about the grief over dying lambs, the plague of Monkey Mind, flipping sheep, or a barnyard fashion crisis, O'Reilly keeps her metaphors down to earth and her epiphanies humble. The structure is especially inviting-a collection of brief essays, only about 3-5 pages each. Yet this collection also reads like a journey with a beginning and an end. It starts with O'Reilly as a college professor who decides to try some part-time animal husbandry at a local farm and ends with her finding a new direction in life that we can only hope will inspire her to write a sequel.
