	Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Jesus' role as a social reformer, and with his followers holding the controversial view that he was the Jewish Messiah, Jesus was not status quo.

	JesusKnowledge
		Jesus holds that the "inside," or the "heart," of a person is one's spiritual moral center from which good or evil intentions arise (Mk 7:21/Mt 15:19).
		In Jesus we find a kind of authoritative teaching and conduct that leaves us with a clear, if disturbing, choice: either he was patently insane ("ἐξέστη," as his own family temporarily thought, according to Mk 3:19-21) or he was the unequaled man he claimed to be, the unique son of God.
		Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge.

	Journal of Religion and Film: Jesus in Film: Hollywood Perspectives on the Jewishness of Jesus by Adele Reinhartz
		Jesus is situated firmly within a Jewish context that bears a strong resemblance to rabbinic Judaism and indeed remains familiar within the framework of traditional Judaism today.
		Jesus was a prophet engaged in radical social criticism expressed through his opposition to the Temple-centred purity-obsessed society and through his practice of inclusive table fellowship.
		Jesus called Israel away from the rules of Deuteronomy which had been only a temporary phase in God’s purposes, and he acted out against the Temple which was the symbol of Judaism’s violent nationalism.

	American Jesus: How the Son of God became a National Icon, by Stephen Prothero. Reviewed by G. Richard Wheatcroft.
		His search is for the “American Jesus - Jesus as he has been interpreted and reinterpreted, construed and misconstrued, in the messy midrash of American culture.” In this context, he highlights images of Jesus found in theological works, novels, biographies, films, musicals, hymns and the visual arts.

	REACH: Unitarian Views of Jesus
		Jesus was seen as the supreme teacher and leader of humankind, and salvation was to be achieved through conforming one's life to his teaching, as the purest expression of God's will.
		Whatever their theological perspective Unitarians attempt, in their style of worship and their community life, to combine a faith of personal integrity with a spirit of inclusiveness that draws strength from a willingness to share and learn from others.
		The question of the centrality of Jesus offers a challenge to modern Unitarians to discover ways of drawing the best from traditions of the past, while discovering an ever deeper understanding and respect for the convictions of others in the present, thus opening ourselves up to fresh visions and insights of a better future.
