Description
Summary:The aim of this monograph is to ‘analyse and compare’ the contributions of two New Testament scholars, John Dominic Crossan and Ben F. Meyer, to historical Jesus studies with a view to ‘framing what … are contrasting methodological options that have solidified in the field, options bearing on larger issues of both historiography and hermeneutics’ (p. 8).
