I learned a lot from most of this book, particularly about much of the symbolism present and explained in all the chapters representing the different phases of the life of Christ. I also felt the author expressed some different and interesting viewpoints on the story of Jesus.  The way the historical tradition behind some events was portrayed and detailed gives new meaning to them--for example, the explanation on what scourging entailed in those days made me realize more than ever just how little we really understand how much Christ suffered. I was a little confused by the constant references to the "synoptic gospels," as I was not familiar with this term and would have appreciated a bit more explanation there. But overall I thought it a very worthwhile book that gave me pause for thought.
