The older book talks about language issues in the gospels. “New Light” presents an overview of Jesus’ teaching ministry and Jewish life in light of his context.

As an editor, I took part in the discussion for what to title “New Light” when it was published. We liked the phrase “difficult words of Jesus” — it seemed appropriate and made people curious. But now I see that the similar name sounds as if the books are related, which isn’t actually true.

Check out the sample chapter pdf for more idea of what New Light is like.
