From the foreword by Joel Green: ""Books about change are dangerous, troublesome, challenging, stirring. This is one of those books....Dr. Alter, at the same time, has been engaged in private practice as a psychotherapist, she has listened carefully to the voice of Jesus in the Gospels, followed his interactions with others in their stories, and engaged responsively the ever-growing scholarly literature on the historical Jesus....She calls for us to reintroduce into our vocabulary such time-honored but unpopular notions as law, sin, vocation, and to embrace ways of being-in-the-world that are reflective of Jesus' understanding of humanity and his other-centered practices.""
