"This book charms us with mind-and faith-stretching ideas... Dr. Hodges has given us a helpful new and fresh look a the incarnation. We won't use it as a basis for a new theology, but the one we already have will be enriched, challenged, and deepened."

Jesus: An Interview Across Time

A psychiatrist looks at Christ's humanity



"Now we have a thinking Christian - a psychiatrist, no less - who isn't afraid to contemplate the experience of Jesus the man... Dr.Hodges has employed a sanctified imagination, rooted in the Gospels, to create a profile of the Word-made-flesh that is wholly reasonable, wholly honoring to the precious doctrine of the incarnation. Only a modern day Gnostic, denying that Jesus is both God and man, will fear to read and applaud this book"
Bruce Lockerbie, Chairman, PAIDEIA, Inc

"[Hodges] has sought to combine the insights he has gained from in-depth study of human psychology with a speculative portrait of the human nature of the earthly Jesus…Hs efforts in this volume are fascinating and profoundly interesting..."
R.C. Sproul, President, Ligonier Ministries

"Without a doubt, it is one of the most exciting books I have
ever read."
Robert Schuller, author and pastor, The Crystal Cathedral,
Garden Grove, California

"Once in a while a book comes along that really changes the way you look at a topic you thought you knew. In this book Andrew Hodges brings a fresh perspective to the person of Jesus. After reading it you'll understand Jesus in a whole new way."
Denny Rydberg, president, Young Life

"A fascinating book about the mind of Christ... I highly recommend it to any serious Christian."
Bruce Larson, Author and Pastor, Seattle, WA

"Inspired insights into his personality... how he perceived himself, what really were the dimensions of the Son of Man, his everyday thought life. This interview with Jesus will provide your mind with great thoughts and ideas, your heart with renewed compassion, and your soul with fire."
Reid Carpenter, president, Council of Leadership Foundations

"Seldom has the Incarnation been so intriguingly portrayed. Seldom has the Incarnation been protrayed in such personaly terms. A sense of intimacy pervades the pages of this book... A powerful relational experience of forgiveness, healing, and a new perspective on life made possible in identifying with Jesus."
Journal of Psychology and Christianity

"This Bible-based book will be a blessing to untold thousands of people in years to come."
Landrum P. Leavell, president (retired), New Orleans Baptist Seminary

"Surprising, challenging, informative, inspirational, and, most of all, extremely theological.... The book should inspire readers to grow in their Christian lives and gain strength and direction from God's word, just as Jesus did."
Bookstore Journal

"This book charms us with mind-and faith-stretching ideas.... Dr. Hodges has given us a helpful new and fresh look at the incarnation and at some very ancient questions. We won't use this book a basis for a new theology, but the one we already have will be enriched, challenged, and deepened."
Jay Kesler, Chancellor, Taylor University

"Dr. Hodges has done a fantastic job in speculating about what Jesus might have said and done during those silent years of His life and work."
The late Grady Wilson, Associate to Billy Graham

"Next to the Bible, it's the most important book I've ever read, for it unveils the heart of the most extraordinary man who ever lived far better than 50 years of sermons I've heard."
Mike McManus, Syndicated religion and ethics columnist

"Warm. Loving. Sensitive. Reverent. Delightful. But dangerous — your Jesus will never be the same to you after reading it."
Curtis B. Moyes, Pastor, Covina, CA

"Fascinating writing using a sanctified imagination.... I only wish I had written it myself."
The late Jamie Buckingham, Editor and Author

"Impressive. Hodges has used his imagination and biblical knowledge in a lucid and compelling interview with Jesus."
Ray Anderson, professor of Theology and Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Scripturally based yet so insightful the reading seems inspired. This book will fulfill a special ministry in enabling people to recognize in the example of Christ's humanness their own potential."
Grace Ketterman, psychiatrist, author

"I was deeply moved by this thoughtful, honest look at the problems Jesus must have had to wrestle with as he came to terms with the fact that he was indeed God on earth veiled in human flesh."
Victor L. Walter, former Chairman of Practical Theology, Trinity Divinity School

"...I have learned more about Jesus from Dr. Hodges' depth perspective as a psychiatrist than from most theologians... it will become a classic Christian book."
Altus Newell, pastor and former president, Internation Theological Seminary, Ruschlikon, Switzerland

"...a salutary reminder of the humanness of Jesus. We forget that the earliset Christological heresey was not the denail of Jesus's deity, but of his humanity."
David K. Lowery, professor of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, Dallas Theological Seminary
