The Jesus Seminar, founded in 1985, was a group of over 100 scholars tasked with using an array of research methods to reconstruct the life of the historical Jesus by answering questions about who he was, what he did, what he said, and what his sayings meant. The result was a radical Jesus who preached a gospel of liberation from injustice. One very different than who Christians learn about every Sunday. This drew heavy criticism from conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists in the US. In The Last Week two of the most renowned members of the Jesus Seminar collaborate to bring a day-by-day account of Jesus' final week. Using the Gospel of Mark, (the first gospel to be composed) as a guide they uncover the political meaning of Holy Week. This is a very insightful read and I would recommend to all who observe Lent to make reading this a part of their Lenten practice.
