|  | Digging in Cumorah by Mark D. Thomas
After languishing in a grave of neglect, the Book of Mormon is being exumed by scholars who are beginning to notice that it deserves more than the casual dismissal it often receives. Thomas applies interpretive features to the text in order to extract meaning from arcane narrative forms. Written for an 1830s audience, the message of the Book of Mormon has to be understood in that context; only then, says Thomas, can its relevance to modern-day readers can be equally understood.

 | Jesus the Jew by Geza Vermes
This now-classic book is a significant corrective to several recent developments in the study of the historical Jesus. In contrast to depictions of Jesus as a wandering Cynic teacher, Geza Vermes offers a portrait based on evidence of charismatic activity in first-century Galilee. Vermes shows how the major New Testament title of Jesus--prophet, Lord, Messiah, son of man, Son of God--can be understood in this historical context. The result is a description of Jesus that retains its power and its credibility. AUTHOR: Geza Vermes
