Names play pivotal roles in unlocking early Christianity and are interpreted to reveal diverse theological positions. Just how much influence those names wielded cannot be overstated. It triggers this author to suggest the option of a nameless god. The book can be a primer for the person interested in objective observations and willing to consider plausible implications—over orthodoxy. Candor and tough decisions dominate this effort. A fresh view of agnostic thought emerges that is positive and helpful.

Hal H. Hargreaves, MDiv, PhD, is a graduate of Willamette University, Union Theological Seminary, the Ecumenical Institute of the World Council of Churches, and Glasgow University. He taught philosophy, interdisciplinary studies and world religions for twenty-four years, retiring in 1994. He lives in Sandpoint, Idaho, with Ruth, his wife of 30 years.

  • By far the most comprehensive and penetrating study of the many, sometimes contradictory, depictions of Jesus. Hargreaves assiduously combs the literature, providing penetrating insights into theology, ethnic values and the very course of Christianity. I know of no other work to match it. To discover the meaning of the book's title, you'll have to read it.

  • A philosopher goes on a quest for the Jesus of the early Christians. In this intensive and insightful study of the names given to Jesus in early Christian writings, both canonical and non-canonical, two common characteristics are identified—wide diversity and a drive toward deification. A must-read for all interested in Christian beginnings.
    - —Charles P. Anderson Associate Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia
  • In an era of religious skepticism, Nameless God is a timely contribution. Students of the New Testament, whether evangelical or ‘mainline' will find this a beautifully written ‘catch-up' book for those who haven't seriously studied the New Testament since seminary. This reverent agnostic's deep faith illuminates the latest evidence uncontaminated by Christian triumphalism in our new globalized world.
