Tragic Gospel

Praise for This Tragic Gospel"Louis Ruprecht is an expert reader of gospels and tragedies. He is also aggressive in a fight, and here the opponent is John. But the cause is good, and Ruprecht defends the anguished heart of Mark's gospel with rare, inconsolable faith." -Kathleen Roberts Skerrett, Associate Dean, Grinnell College"Ruprecht transforms not only the way we view the gospel of John, but also (and perhaps more important) the way we view the synoptic gospels. He offers one essential solution, especially for Christians in these tragic political times, to the very real problem of Christianity's inherent and often underexamined biblical triumphalism." -Lori Anne Ferrell, Professor of Early Modern History, Claremont Graduate University"[Ruprecht's] insights provide a portrait of layered insight into Christian origins that will appeal to believer and skeptic alike." -Bruce Lawrence, Professor of Islamic Studies, Duke University, and author, The Qur'an: A Biography"Louis Reprecht takes a fresh look at the New Testament with the tragic vision of an ancient Greek and he see things many seem now to have unfortunately forgotten. Religion needs to be discussed, not shouted about; a dialogue, not a rant." -Mike Lippman, Assistant professor, Classical Studies, Rollins CollegeRuprecht, Louis A. is the author of 'Tragic Gospel', published 2008 under ISBN 9780787987787 and ISBN 0787987786.
