Description
Summary:This article deals with historical Jesus studies done by evangelical scholars. The works are divided up into three broad categories: textbooks, construc tive studies and apologetic works. The article asks whether or not one can find good historical scholarship being done in the evangelical community. The results are, as might be expected, mixed. While there is some very good work being done by evangelical Jesus scholars such as N.T. Wright, Scot McKnight and Greg Boyd, there is a fair amount of shoddy scholarship com ing from this camp as well. The article points out both strengths and weak nesses in Jesus research being done by modem evangelicals and ends with suggestions for evangelical Jesus scholars.Anyone writing so small a book about so great a man must leave something out.G.K.
