What the Gospels Meant, by Garry Wills

“In his most recent book, “What the Gospels Meant” (Viking, 224 pages, $24.95), Garry Wills completes a trilogy, capping off “What Jesus Meant” and “What Paul Meant,” both published in 2006. All three books are informed, lucid, and accessible to general readers, but the last is the most poetic, penetrating, and moving. In “What Jesus Meant,” Mr. Wills gave us a Jesus who is more open to outcasts than the Vatican is today, and, in “What Paul Meant,” he presented a Paul who does not deserve his reputation — still popular among Christian fundamentalists — as an inveterate enemy of Judaism.” Read the review at the New York Sun.

They say that means less and less supply – or at least not as much supply as might be expected – from these countries in the coming years. That’s important, especially since tight global supplies are one reason for $95-a-barrel oil right now." [ Read the rest of the interview ]
