 27\n\nBrazos Bookstore is pleased to present William Linden\, who signs an
 d discusses his book\,  The Historical Jesus for Beginners.\nThe last few 
 decades have seen a resurgence of the scholarly quest for the historical J
 esus -- for the words and deeds that probably can be attributed to the hum
 an Jesus who walked the hills of Galilee some two thousand years ago. You 
 might not be aware of the recent scholarship\, and the reason is simple. F
 or the most part\, many scholars write for and talk to other scholars\, us
 ing their own technical language. This leaves huge numbers of Christians u
 naware of their discoveries. So even though you may have studied the Bible
  for years\, you still may be a historical Jesus beginner.\nAfter the life
  of Jesus\, his followers began to develop their memory of his sayings and
  actions. Then\, year after year\, and century after century\, the traditi
 on grew until it became Christianity as it is known in the twenty-first ce
 ntury. What if we could go back in time and delve beneath all the layers t
 o find what Christianity would be if it were based upon the historical Jes
 us? If you are a person who would like to begin to be informed\, this book
  is for you.\n'This comprehensive and compelling book is a masterful prime
 r of the historical Jesus for beginners. But is also a valuable resource f
 or those who have been on the journey for some years.' -- G. Richard Wheat
 croft\nWilliam M. Linden holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Theology from Oxf
 ord University in England and is the Chair of the Board of Directors of th
 e Foundation for Contemporary Theology in Houston. Mr. Linden has concentr
 ated his efforts in theology in the scholarly quest for the historical Jes
 us -- the human being who walked about Galilee in the first century\, a pe
 rson who showed us what God is like and what a human life full of God is l
 ike.\nFor the past three years\, Mr. Linden has been teaching a course on 
 the historical Jesus in the Rice University School of Continuing Studies a
 nd in various Christian churches in the Houston area. He is an Associate M
 ember of the Westar Institute in California\, which sponsors the Jesus Sem
 inar\, the leaders in academic historical Jesus research. Prior to concent
 rating his work on the historical Jesus\, Mr. Linden was a Houston lawyer.
  He is a retired partner of Vinson & Elkins law firm\, where he specialize
 d in federal income tax law.\n\nStart time: 4:00pm
