Acerca de esta escucha
Every Sunday, the Lord's Prayer echoes in churches around the world.
It is an indisputable principle of Christian faith. It is the way Jesus taught his followers to pray and distills the most essential beliefs required of every one of the world's 2.5 billion Christians. In The Greatest Prayer, our foremost Jesus scholar explores this foundational prayer line by line for the richest and fullest understanding of a prayer every Christian knows by heart.
An expert on the historical Jesus, Crossan provides just the right amount of history, scholarship, and detail for us to rediscover why this seemingly simple prayer sparked a revolution. Addressing issues of God's will for us and our response, our responsibilities to one another and to the earth, the theology of our daily bread, the moral responsibilities that come with money, our nation-states, and God's kingdom, Crossan reveals the enduring meaning and universal significance of the only prayer Jesus ever taught.

Historia
In contrast to the oppressive Roman military occupation of the first century, Crossan examines the meaning of the non-violent Kingdom of God prophesized by Jesus and the equality advocated by Paul to the early Christian churches. Crossan contrasts these messages of peace with the misinterpreted apocalyptic vision from the Book of Revelation, which has been misrepresented by modern right-wing theologians and televangelists to justify US military actions in the Middle East.

Historia
Many portions of the New Testament introduce a compassionate Jesus who turns the other cheek, loves his enemies, and shows grace to all. But the Jesus we find in Revelation and some portions of the Gospels leads an army of angels bent on earthly destruction. Which is the true revelation of the Messiah - and how can both be in the same Bible? How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian explores this question and offers guidance for the faithful conflicted over which version of the Lord to worship.

Historia
Paul is second only to Jesus as the most important person in the birth of Christianity, and yet he continues to be controversial, even among Christians. How could the letters of Paul be used both to inspire radical grace and to endorse systems of oppression - condoning slavery, subordinating women, condemning homosexual behavior? Borg and Crossan use the best of biblical and historical scholarship to explain the reasons for Paul's mixed reputation and reveal to us what scholars have known for decades: The later letters of Paul were created by the early church to dilute Paul's message.

Historia
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today. For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.

Top Jesus scholars Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan join together to reveal a radical and little-known Jesus. As both authors reacted to and responded to questions about Mel Gibson's blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, they discovered that many Christians are unclear on the details of events during the week leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem.

Historia
In The First Christmas, two of today's top Jesus scholars, Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan, join forces to show how history has biased our reading of the nativity story as it appears in the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Borg and Crossan help us to see this well-known narrative afresh by answering the question, "What do these stories mean?" in the context of both the first century and the 21st century. They successfully show that the Christmas story, read in its original context, is far richer and more challenging than people imagine.

Historia
Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining.

In our culture, the “good life” means getting more. This series of retreat talks challenges listeners to subtract--to release whatever hinders us from siding with the cosmic Christ, whether that be in our inner world or our outer world. Father Rohr offers a daring vision which calls us to surrender, to liberation, to making room for real freedom.

World-renowned Jesus scholar Marcus J. Borg shows how we can live passionately as Christians in today's world by practicing the vital elements of Christian faith.

Emphasizing the critical role of daily practice in living the Christian life, he explores how prayer, worship, Sabbath, pilgrimage, and more can be experienced as authentically life-giving practices.

In this definitive biography, renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and best-selling author N. T. Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology - transforming a faith and changing the world. For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "saw the light on the Road to Damascus" and made a miraculous conversion from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the church's most widely cited saints.

Picking up where Faith After Doubt leaves off, Do I Stay Christian? is not McLaren's attempt to persuade Christians to dig in their heels or run for the exit. Instead, he combines his own experience with that of thousands of people who have confided in him over the years to help readers make a responsible, honest, ethical decision about their religious identity.

Since the beginning of time, humankind has looked upon nature and seen the divine. In the writings of the great thinkers across religions, the natural world inspires everything from fear, to awe, to tranquil contemplation; God, or however one defined the sublime, was present in everything. Yet today, even as we admire a tree or take in a striking landscape, we rarely see nature as sacred.

John Shelby Spong, best-selling author and popular proponent of a modern, scholarly, and authentic Christianity, argues that this last gospel to be written was misinterpreted by the framers of the fourth-century creeds to be a literal account of the life of Jesus when in fact it is a literary, interpretive retelling of the events in Jesus' life through the medium of fictional characters, from Nicodemus and Lazarus to the "Beloved Disciple."

powerful & enlightening
Crossen is one of my favorite authors. His, as well as Borgs books, along with Westar, and most off all, my church have guided me through the long illnesses of my Mother and then my Wife. Nothing relieves my sorrow and emptiness like sound teaching.

Awesome!
JD Crossan has been filling in the blanks from my Catholic education. I’m so appreciative of the the connections he makes between the biblical texts and the social, linguistic, literary, and historical context that generated those texts.

Fascinating perspective
Dr. Croissant and his work have always impressed me and made me go “wow” out loud a number of times. This book was no exception. I did have to be a bit more patient than with his other work for the payoff, but, without fail, I’m again feeling blown away. I think the Lord’s Prayer takes on a new life with these considerations included.

Felt like listening to a Maths book read aloud
John Dominic Crossan's meditational reflection on the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) has some intriguing concepts and ideas (eg. "God is Justice - distributive justice, not penal justice.")
Going through the Lord's Prayer phrase by phrase Crossan shares his take on theology with the listener. He argues that the Lord's Prayer is a Jewish prayer on the lips of Christianity for all people. It is therefore a universal prayer. From this stance he starts to examine the prayer in more detail.
Early on in the book, he introduces the listener to a technical poetic device that plays an important role in his explanation of the Lord's Prayer (as in Matthew) in large parts of the book, namely parallelism. While myself versed in the Hebrew Bible's poetic devices, I wondered who else that listens to this book would be? I also thought that in his reading Walter Dixon tried his best to deal with parallelism by accentuating words, but I didn't think that it worked. I am not sure if people would grasp such a concept without seeing it in front of them, thus I felt a PDF download could've illuminated the book.
Although large parts of the book were tedious and at times almost impossible to listen to, there were a few very interesting concepts. I liked the way that he interpreted Psalm 82 in the light of consequences instead of punishment. His background information on Jesus was also worthwhile to listen to.
Yet, a lot of it felt like the religious equivalent to a Mathematics Handbook being read aloud. While I have a lot of respect for Walter Dixon and appreciates his effort in reading the book, I do think that the technical nature of the book doesn't do him justice. This was definitely not his best performance. (His pronunciation of certain Greek words Crossan used was most of the times almost completely unrecognisable.)
At a place in the book Crossan makes himself guilty of a etymological fallacy when discussing the word "sacrifice." He says it comes from the Latin for "make holy." Then he explains the concept behind the English word along the etymological meaning of the word. The problem is just that it doesn't work in other languages, like German, Dutch and Afrikaans. It sounds very much like the "missing the target"-explanation that is read into the concept of "sin" by some televangelists.
All in all, it is a technical book with a lot of promise, but which really doesn't lean itself to audiobook format. I really think the trend of reading the New Testament in the shadow of the Empire, which Crossan also does, is a hermeneutic key forced in a lock that it shouldn't open.
I would strongly recommend that you buy the written version of the book. It is not the best of Crossan.
