| Summary: | "Jesus of Nazareth and the four New Testament gospels continue to fascinate people from many cultural and religious backgrounds. Who was Jesus? Are Christian claims about him supported by solid historical evidence? How reliable are the evangelists portraits of Jesus which were written some forty to fifty years after his crucifixion? These questions can be explored only on the basis of a sound grasp of the intensions and methods of the four evangelists. The Gospels and Jesus provides a clear and scholarly introduction to this subject, showing how the evangelists are concerned with both the story and the significance of Jesus of Nazareth. Particular attention is paid throughout to appropriate methods for careful study of the gospels and the historical Jesus." "This new edition has been fully updated to take into account recent scholarly discussion, including literary approaches to the gospels, developments in the use of archaeological evidence, methods for reconstructing the teaching of Jesus, and an increased focus on the Gospel of Thomas."--Jacket |
