Title: Thy god is a brown-eyed god
Authors: Robin Griffith-Jones
Source: Daily Telegraph (London). 02/10/2018, p26,27-26,27. 1.
Abstract: WHAT DID JESUS LOOK LIKE? by Joan E Taylor 224pp, Bloomsbury T&T Clark, £17.99 Few readers of the Telegraph would credit the portrayal of Jesus familiar from the pinboards of Sunday school: the glossy brown locks of hair; the fair skin; the full, loose robe. Long gone are the bright blue eyes of Robert Powell's Jesus of Nazareth (1977). How, though, should we picture Jesus instead? Joan Taylor at King's College London has an enviable eye for the practicalities of life in the New Testament's world. Her recent book on Qumran hardly mentioned the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls; she told instead a story of economic activity - of date palms, mandrake and balsam, of bitumen harvested when it gurgled in vast globules to the surface of the lake - unimaginable in that desolate valley today. Now she asks, bluntly, what did Jesus look like? Here, the gospels are silent. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
