Flesh-and-Blood Jesus: Learning to Be Fully Human from the Son of Man
By Dan Russ. Baker Books
Reviewed by Publisher's Weekly, April 28, p. 132:
Russ, longtime teacher and now director of Gordon College's Center for Christian Studies, probes the humanity of Jesus Christ in this revealing, disturbing yet ultimately freeing book. "We can so focus on the realities of our Lord's divinity that we minimize or ignore the realities of his humanity," he explains. Russ is brutally honest when he addresses our neediness exhibited in Jesus as a "manger wetter," who as an adult caused tension between himself and his mother and routinely questioned authority. Especially freeing is Russ's understanding that Jesus failed many times and disappointed others, yet remained sinless. Though some equate failure with sin, Russ says we can "fail gracefully" as Jesus did.
