As a 73-volume library; the original The Jesuit Relations has long been inaccessible to undergraduate students. Vitally important; the writings of seventeenth-century French Jesuits in Native North America tell the story of early American encounters. This new edition deftly binds them into a thematically arranged; 35-document sampler with a detailed introduction that provides background on these missionaries; the Indians; and their cohabitation in early North America. Colorful journal entries by such fathers as Paul LeJeune; Jean de Brébeuf; Isaac Jogues; and Jacques Marquette describe the Huron; Algonquin; Iroquois; and Montagnais peoples. Eleven images; two maps; a chronology; a bibliography; and questions for consideration supplement these firsthand accounts.

A balanced view of both the theological and historical issues of the humanity and divinity of Jesus of Nazareth.By James G Sliney JrThis work by multiple experts filled in a number of gaps in my knowledge and understanding of the theological issues of the simultaneous humanity and divinity of Jesus of Nazareth. This theological paradox reminded me of a parallel paradox in Modern Physics with regard to the paradox of light which is both a particle and a wave.This work by Michael F. Bird; et al provides a solid theological counter balance to Bart D. Ehrman's work "How Jesus Became God". Ehrman claims to be looking at the topic from an historical point of view; but Bird et al ably critique his view of the history of the topic.8 of 11 people found the following review helpful. EssentialBy KlartopaQuite thorough; well-explained. Dismantles Ehrman; politely disclosing a host of logical fallacies in his methodology and categories as well as Ehrman's misrepresentation through card-stacking and biased translation. One of the writers is a bit tough to read; the others lucid; but the content is still worthy of 5 stars. If only the Learning Company (Great Courses) would let these guys do a course. Alas!
