He has been a <a href="https://amzn.to/3IPXA3E"></a>mendicant friar and a catholic priest, a Co-Chair of the Jesus Seminar, and a President of the Society of Biblical Literature. His focus, whether scholarly or popular, in books, videos, or lectures, is on the historical Jesus as the norm and criterion for the entire Christian Bible. His reconstructed Jesus incarnates nonviolent resistance to the Romanization of his Jewish homeland and future hope of a transformed world and transfigured earth. Crossan’s method is to situate biblical texts within the reconstructed matrix of their own genre and purpose, their own time and place, and to hear them accurately for then before accepting or rejecting them for now.<br> Previous Podcast Episodes with Dom & Tripp<br> <br> * <a href="https://trippfuller.com/2023/01/22/john-dominic-crossan-jesus-paul-bible-questions/">Jesus, Paul, & Bible Questions</a><br> * <a href="https://trippfuller.com/2022/11/21/john-dominic-crossan-saving-the-biblical-christmas-stories/">Saving the Biblical Christmas Stories</a><br> * <a href="https://trippfuller.com/2022/11/02/john-dominic-crossan-the-most-important-discovery-for-understanding-jesus/">the most important discovery for understanding Jesus</a><br> * <a class="ais-hits--title-link" title="The Bible, Violence, & Our Future: John Dominic Crossan & Diana Butler Bass" href="https://trippfuller.com/2022/04/24/the-bible-violence-our-future-john-dominic-crossan-diana-butler-bass/">The Bible, Violence, & Our Future</a><br> * <a class="ais-hits--title-link" title="Resurrecting Easter with John Dominic Crossan" href="https://trippfuller.com/2018/02/27/resurrecting-easter-with-john-dominic-crossan/">Resurrecting Easter</a><br> * <a class="ais-hits--title-link" title="John Dominic Crossan on the First Christmas [Barrel Aged]" href="https://trippfuller.com/2014/12/09/john-dominic-crossan-on-the-first-christmas-barrel-aged/">on the First Christmas </a><br> * <a class="ais-hits--title-link" title="From Jesus' Parables to Parables of God with John Dominic Crossan" href="https://trippfuller.com/2014/05/23/from-jesus-parables-to-parables-of-god-with-john-dominic-crossan/">From Jesus’ Parables to Parables of God </a><br> * <a class="ais-hits--title-link" title="John Dominic Crossan: Render Unto Caesar" href="https://trippfuller.com/2022/04/04/john-dominic-crossan-render-unto-caesar/">Render Unto Caesar</a><br> * <a class="ais-hits--title-link" title="John Dominic Crossan on God & Empire!
