Abstract

 This enjoyable work is the product of the 2010 Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum in Faith and Culture. This annual forum aims "to have a respected Evangelical scholar dialogue with a respected non-Evangelical or non-Christian scholar on an important subject in religion or culture" (xv). The 2010 forum hosted a dialogue between John Dominic Crossan and Ben Witherington III on "The Message of Jesus." Other scholars contributed papers related to the subject. These, along with additional related essays, follow a transcript of Crossan’s and Witherington’s dialogue (including a Question and Answer section) and are collected to produce this fine introduction to and exploration of the topic.
