What did Jesus think of himself? How did he face death? What were his expectations of the future? In this volume, internationally renowned Jesus scholar Dale Allison Jr. addresses such perennially fascinating questions about Jesus. Representing the fruit of several decades of research, this major work questions standard approaches to Jesus studies and rethinks our knowledge of the historical Jesus in light of recent progress in the scientific study of memory. Allison's groundbreaking alternative strategy calls for applying what we know about the function of human memory to our reading of the Gospels in order to "construct Jesus" more soundly.

From his days as the "quiet Beatle"—a tag he quite disliked—to his immensely successful and critically admired solo career, George Harrison produced one of the most memorable bodies of music in modern times. His "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun" can certainly lay claim to being the best offerings on The Beatles' Abbey Road, while his 1970 album All Things Must Pass introduced new musical styles to rock and roll. Harrison was the pioneer in making mainstream rock a vehicle for religious convictions. In this respect, he is a forerunner of bands such as U2 and Creed. People often criticized him for being preachy or didactic. Reviewers over the years exhibited either an anxious disinclination to say much about his evangelistic lyrics or showed a condescending tendency to dismiss them. His devotional language was not their language. They regularly thought him sanctimonious and full of irrelevant religious platitudes. Allison's book views Harrison's religious bent as his most interesting trait. Harrison should be admired for having something distinctive to say, and for saying it while knowing that many would not understand and that others who might understand might not be sympathetic. He had the courage of his convictions, to sing to the public what he sang to himself in his heart. Allison traces Harrison's religious pilgrimage from Liverpool Roman Catholicism to a brand of philosophical Hinduism. He sorts through Harrison's musical corpus—through its mixed bag of fragmentary feelings, religious poetry, secular love songs, perceptions of the world, and anxieties about life—to interpret what matters most to Harrison. In short, this is a book about Harrison's religious sentiments as they surface in his songs.

Almost every book in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament is charged with allusion to 'subtexts'. In order to appreciate those books fully, one must see behind them, to the texts in the background. Without such vision, interpretation is constricted. This sort of allusion may be too subtle for many modern readers. The result is that we are not accustomed to the phenomenon of few words signifying much. But we should not allow our historically conditioned deafness to blind us to oblique allusions in the Bible. Yet, how can the contemporary reader of an ancient work recognise these allusions? We may believe that we are reading books that are incomplete utterances and full of holes, that we must make present what is absent. Reading the Bible, we are in much the same position as a college student struggling to understand Dante or Milton. Every phrase has something in it, much more than initially perceived, but how do we perceive it? In this book, Professor Allison shows how the Dead Sea Scrolls can be of great help in this difficult task. Scrolls help us better comprehend how certain scriptural allusions function in the New Testament.

The heart of this book is its expansive opening chapter on the history of Q. Here Dale Allison offers an interesting and novel thesis regarding Q's composition with good parallels in other ancient documents. His thesis takes its direction from the work of Dieter Zeller who argued that "the kernel of many of the sayings . . . was composed and transmitted by wandering and wonder-working missionaries.".
