What is the secret of true happiness? Actually, the answer to that question has been with us for over 2,000 years and is readily available to us today. In this groundbreaking book, R. Earle Rabb explores the answer provided by the Greek philosopher Epicurus and the surprising impact of his message on the life and teachings of Jesus. He takes a fresh look at these two men who lived 300 years apart and examines how the message they taught got lost and the heavy price we have paid for that loss. The good news is that the message is still there. The author illuminates how the path to happiness and wellbeing they pioneered is confirmed by the modern Science of Happiness. In so doing, we find a path that leads each of us to real happiness and a more peaceful world.
A famous person is missing! The human Jesus of Nazareth is missing from the creeds of the church, missing from most of the New Testament, and hidden within the four New Testament gospels. It will take an exciting piece of detective work to find him, and upon finding him there will be a big surprise. He may not turn out to be the person the reader expects to find. Finding Jesus of Nazareth can transform churches, communities, and individuals in unexpected ways. Many people today are being drawn to the original message of Jesus, apart from the image of Jesus proclaimed by the traditional church. There is a hunger for the values Jesus proclaimed and practiced. This book will help everyone, religious or not, discover the human Jesus and his original vision of new communities of equity, social justice, and shared resources, as well as discover what that means in our modern world.

Few New Testament topics have been discussed as often and as intensely as Q, the hypothesized second major source alongside the gospel of Mark for the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and the parables. And yet, no monograph to date has been devoted to considering the parables in Q. In addition to filling this gap in New Testament scholarship, Dieter T. Roth addresses the need to move scholarship on both Q and the parables forward along methodological and interpretive lines. Roth considers Q not as a text behind Matthew and Luke that needs to be reconstructed but rather as an intertext between Matthew and Luke that offered plots, characters, and images in parables that were taken up by Matthew and Luke and utilized in their own respective texts. In addition, Roth draws on recent parables research in his examination of the 27 parables in Q (two spoken by John the Baptist, one by the Centurion, and 24 by Jesus) in order to consider their purpose and function in this early Christian text.
