I, 6, New York: St Martins Pr, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A tight clean first edition/printing, protected in a new brodart wrapper, n ot price clipped/ex library or a book of the month edition. Celebrity biographer and former monk Donald Spoto (author of Diana: The Las t Year) applies his impressive research skills to the life of Jesus. From t he get go, Spoto makes it clear that he's willing to upend many of the domi nant beliefs about Jesus. For example, Spoto asserts that Jesus was born in Nazareth, not the little town of Bethlehem. (Matthew and Luke apparently p laced their accounts of the birth in Bethlehem, the home of King David, in order to substantiate the belief that Jesus descended from the line of Davi d.) And so it goes, with Spoto stating that the virginal conception should not be literally interpreted, that there is no evidence of an unusually bri ght star around the time of Jesus' birth, and that Jesus was not an only ch ild, but in fact the eldest of seven. Fortunately, Spoto maintains a respectful and pensive tone throughout--a welcome departure from the tawdry details of some of his celebrity biographies. Spoto uses his investigative talents to reveal the meaning as much as the historical facts of Jesus' life and afterlife. At its core, The Hidden Life of Jesus is a Christian's personal quest and resulting theory into the ultimate meaning and enduring impact of Jesus of Nazareth., St Martins Pr, 1998, 5<

The Hidden Jesus presents an extraordinary vision of Jesus Christ that remained hidden to his contemporaries and most of us today. Donald Spoto, the former monk and New Testament scholar who in recent years has written some of the most highly praised biographies of world-class celebrities, returns to his roots with this remarkable and deeply insightful portrait of the man Nazareth and the surprising message of His gospels.Addressing himself to a wide spectrum of modern readers, Spoto has written both a revolutionary and an intensely spiritual work. Controversial in its assessments, and particularly in its examination of standard doctrinal theology, The Hidden Jesus demonstrates that: -- Two New Testament passages on the the virginal conception should not be literally understood, and Jesus was not an only child, but the eldest of seven children-- Portions of the New Testament are anti-Semitic and that bias is certainly not part of revealed truth-- Sexual matters should not be seen as the principal gauge of morality, since Jesus had greater concerns, and even counted prostitutes among his closest friends-- There is no legitimate barrier to women being priests-- The New Testament does not say that marriages cannot be broken, but rather that marriages should not be broken-- One cannot be a true follower of Jesus and endorse capital punishment-- Jesus placed the birth in Bethlehem in order to relate Jesus directly to King David Media > Book, [PU: St Martin's Press]<
