  Edgar Jones, Voiceofjesus -- loony toon
Jones concludes, "It is clear that Paul's disciples engaged in public prayer in their worship together, even as those whom Jesus called 'hypocrites' loved to stand praying in the synagogue." Well, Jones needs yet another contextual reality check, because Matt.
Jones tries to create difference between Jesus and Paul on account of their allegedly "contradictory views on the world." It is claimed that "Jesus sees the world of men as intrinsically hostile to God and therefore non reconcilable." The former is true, but the latter is an unwarranted exegesis.
Jones does somewhat correctly move on to say that the OT covenant had "a limited tenure" (see here) but this is not anywhere near allowing that the OT is an "impediment" to salvation (it could be, if misunderstood, but the same could be said of the NT!).

 Laurie Beth Jones' Jesus, CEO: Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
And although I don't believe that Jones would necessarily describe herself as antiecclesiastical, her extrapolation of Jesus' message is, at least on the surface, unconcerned with organized religion.
Her Jesus doesn't act as the Messiah, but as a guy who did the right thing and inspired others to do the same, a great teacher who can help people to make more authentic contact with each other on a one-to-one level.
While envisioning Jesus, one of the great antiauthoritarian rabblerousers of history, as a corporate boss was somewhat problematic, seeing him as a good man with a powerful message is perfectly reasonable.

Based on the platinum success of Doubt, Jesus Jones' leader guitarist/vocalist Mike Edwards decided it was his mission to make techno palatable for the pop masses and recorded their follow-up album, 1993's Perverse, almost entirely on computer.
The result was neither good pop music nor good techno; Jesus Jones' subsequent fall from the top of the U.S. and U.K. charts was as fast as their rise to the top.

Mel Gibson's soon-to-be-released film The Passion of the Christ—hailed by some as a powerful account of the last hours of Jesus' life, decried by others as an inflammatory screed with anti-Semitic overtones—has become a lightning rod in the culture wars.
The film's conservative defenders have charged that the criticism is driven by liberal fears of religion's growing influence on society.

 Jesus Jones produces uneven bbut likable Doubt
NEWCOMERS JESUS JONES HAVE recently released their second album Doubt, an utterly enjoyable and novel piece of work, but one unfortunately marred by occasional musical and creative lapses.
Jesus Jones is another one of the seemingly endless number of groups from Manchester, England, to have invaded the American alternative music circuit.
Another standout track is "Are You Satisfied," with Jones posing the questions "Are you satisfied?/ Do you know what you want, will you go with it when you die?" The song moves rather calmly, then launches into an exciting, ferocious chorus, a typical pattern for many of Jesus Jones' songs.

 Jesus Jones: Live at the Marquee [DVD] - PopMatters Music Review
Originally released in the UK quite some time ago, Live at the Marquee is a start-to-finish concert recording of a one-off show that Jesus Jones played in London at the tail end of 2002 for the express purpose of filming a live DVD.
The best news of all of this is that the members of Jesus Jones get to play a pile of songs that they rarely get to play amongst all of the big hits, without leaving out the requisite selections from the (then) new album, London.
Indeed, the Jesus Jones live spectacle is by all measures a fairly barebones affair, featuring the five members of the band onstage at all times, playing their songs the only way they know how.

Jones had a prime directive with full authorization from NEXUS Security to take out JHVH-1's bastard Son when the invasion was completed, or at the first sign that Jesus knew what the real objective of this mission was.

 TWAS 138: Jesus Jones
The disc we've had on highest rotation, though, is Already, the fourth album by Jesus Jones (the domestic release of which has been delayed by the collapse of EMI, but I got impatient and bought an import).
Jesus Jones are the perfect band to cheer me as I work, because they're one of the few bands that remind me that technology is good for something, after all.
The substrate of sampler chatter that underlies nearly every Jesus Jones song is not mimicry of any real-world instrument or other composition; the pieces of the original have been chopped so finely that they have become something fundamentally different than their source (note that this doesn't work with Hamburger Helper).

Jesus Jones is a bit of a strange bird.
But mostly, Jesus Jones and frontman Edwards specifically just wanted to bring electronic music (and most specifically) to a level that the masses could appreciate.
Also what needs to be said is that Jesus Jones doesn’t seem to fear much, including the isolation that this album certainly created.

 Jesus Jones
His Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses are the only indie bands of that time that still mean anything today, and then there was Jesus Jones - the indie-dance merchants that clung on to the crap clothes and hairdos of the previous decade.
From what I can remember, Jesus Jones enjoyed a brief but successful ministry before being crucified by the musical press and dying a slow death.
Likewise, the second coming of Jesus Jones could be just as easily filled with glory as one doomed to failure, which is the more likely outcome.

 TrouserPress.com :: Jesus Jones
History will record Jesus Jones as a one-hit wonder (1991's "Right Here, Right Now"), a shoe-in for the inevitable '90s retrospectives to come.
Infatuated with American hip-hop, New York guitar noise and British dance music, Jesus Jones — named following a Spanish vacation during which natives referred to all of the musicians as Jones (the Jesus is supposed to be pronounced Hay-zeus) — made quite an initial splash, playing busy, sample-heavy dance rock.
Doubt doesn't have the bursting freshness (or repetitiveness) of its predecessor, but it became Jesus Jones' moment in the mainstream sun.

The last time I saw Jesus Jones was in New York, where they seem to be based now, and the gig was shambolic, but great, featuring a lot of material from their current album 'London'.
It’s a shame that they don’t show how good their new material is though, as 'London' is proving to be one of the best albums the band have done.
Hopefully this will act as a catalyst to Jesus Jones back in the UK and showing people how good their new stuff is.

While more mainstream than the original Stourbridge bands, Jesus Jones featured samples and dance-inspired beats with fuzzy guitars and rap-inflected vocals.
While never emerging from the shadow of the original Stourbridge bands, Jesus Jones helped to accustom listeners to dance music with a heavy rock element, a sound which would later be taken to extremes by late-‘90s electronica bands like the Prodigy.
