Flesh-and-Blood Jesus
Learning to Be Fully Human from the Son of Man
By Dan Russ
(Baker Books, 2008)
Dan Russ helps readers get to know Jesus Christ more fully through reflecting on his humanity.
It’s easy for most Christians to accept the Jesus who walked on water and rose from the dead. But what about the Jesus who got angry, doubted, struggled with fears, and faced tension with his mother? Flesh-and-Blood Jesus carefully examines the humanity of Jesus throughout his childhood, adulthood, death, and resurrection, exploring themes such as frailty, the need for companionship, feasting, dying, living with wounds, and responding to authority. By delving into areas of Jesus’s life that are often overlooked, you will emerge with a deeper understanding of how Jesus embraced his humanity. And you will learn how to embrace your own humanity with all its messiness and joy.
