My next and probably last book I'll be reading (for the time being, anyway) on the "deity" issue is Hurtado's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802828612" rel="nofollow">How on Earth Did Jesus Become a God?</a> and I'm mainly doing it to be fair to the Christian perspective on the matter.<br /><br />After that, I have to stop spending money on books for awhile, as my wife says I'm stressing out our Visa account. ;-)Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593266343873200105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747998155058121772.post-90803025816120285032011-03-23T18:44:40.204-06:002011-03-23T18:44:40.204-06:00Thanks, James, for your kind comments under the ot...Thanks, James, for your kind comments under the other thread. Dialogue is a good thing. You might, as you continue to explore Jesus' Jewishness, also be interested in the following:<br /><br />http://www.surprisedbychrist.com/<br />http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/showthread.php?49546-unOrthodox-Priest-From-Orthodox-Jew-to-Greek-Orthodox-Priest<br /><br />Some time ago, I watched part of the excellent documentary series by Ronald Eyre, called "The Long Search." One DVD contained three episodes: one on Judaism, another on Islam, and the third on Eastern Orthodox Christianity. I was particularly struck with the external similarities/continuities between Jewish expressions of worship and that of Eastern Orthodox Christians. (And, of course, Islam, coming later incorporated aspects of both traditions.) <br /><br />I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is a definite affinity between the mystical aspects of Judaism, especially, and Eastern Orthodoxy, which is the most "mystical" of all the Christian traditions.ofgracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472912900056438243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747998155058121772.post-22759111740036821722011-03-22T10:42:12.092-06:002011-03-22T10:42:12.092-06:00Glad you like it.
