To disable those who love Jesus, and especially those who are surrendered.” — Jennie Allen, Restless This month, the Patheos Book Club is featuring popular Bible teacher and author Jennie Allen’s new book, Restless: Because You Were Made For More.

Welcoming the Presence: A Review of John Geiger’s “The Angel Effect”

Last updated on: January 8, 2014 at 4:51 pm By Elizabeth Nordquist

42 Comments

Book Review The Angel Effect by John Geiger I have always loved stories of angels, most of them in my reading shaped by accounts from scripture. John Geiger’s gathering of actual “sensed presence” encounters from people around the world, from many spiritual traditions and from those without such a tradition, is a remarkable collection of personal accounts. They are varied, arise on many occasions and have different meanings to those who experience them. Geiger is clear bout his intention to... Read more

Jesus, First-Century Rabbi: A Tale of Love and Caution

Last updated on: December 16, 2013 at 3:57 pm By Brad Hirschfield

The first century is a time whose stories evoke controversy as perhaps no other period in the history of religion. Who was “the real” Jesus? The answer to that question has altered loves for better and for worse until our very day. So a book like Jesus: First Century Rabbi, by Rabbi David Zaslow, which tries to answer the question, demands serious attention. His work actually continues a recent trend of books trying to better understand who Jesus was, by placing... Read more

The Historical Jesus and Rabbi David Zaslow’s “Jesus: First-Century Rabbi”: A Review

Last updated on: December 16, 2013 at 10:51 am By Guest Contributor

By Amber Stamper Assistant Professor of Language, Literature, and Communication at Elizabeth City State University, NC Fascination with the “historical Jesus” has occupied scholars for well over two centuries, and myriad portraits of Jesus have emerged to line the bookshelves of religious historians and theologians alike: “Jesus as social revolutionary,” “Jesus as political radical,” “Jesus as Jewish Messiah,” “Jesus as wisdom teacher,” “Jesus as feminist/liberal/socialist/conservative.” Each new publication is ever hopeful of shedding light on the “real life” of a...

Angels, Today: A Q&A with “The Angel Effect’s” John Geiger

Last updated on: December 16, 2013 at 12:19 pm By Deborah Arca

“When people in Ancient Greece, or in Biblical times, or the Middle Ages, or in the First World War, or today, talk about angels intervening, historians have always dismissed their accounts as lies or considered them allegorical. I am now convinced that these are real, lived experiences. When people talk of angels, they should be taken seriously.” — John Geiger ‘Tis the season for angels, and here at the Patheos Book Club, we are indeed taking them seriously after reading John Geiger’s...

Catholic Imagination and Hebraic Thinking

Last updated on: December 11, 2013 at 1:41 pm By Guest Contributor

By Bethanie Ryan My favorite part of Rabbi David Zaslow’s new book, Jesus: First-Century Rabbi, is Chapter Eight: Hebraic Thinking. Not because his characterization of Jewish thought was new to me, because it wasn’t. Not because it was the easiest part for me to understand, the whole book is very readable. It’s because, as a Catholic, I got it. I understood “Hebraic thinking.” I had a hint that a light-bulb moment like this was going to happen when he set... Read more
