The Historical Search.
Who was Jesus, really? And why try to find out about the historical Jesus anyway?
Throughout history, much discussion has been generated about the historical identity of Jesus. That he existed is generally agreed, but methods of interpretation and understandings about the historical Jesus differ markedly. In this book, Robert Crotty leads you through the maze of information and background surrounding this important debate.
'The Jesus Question' provides:
- A survey of modern biblical interpretation
- An analysis of the way churches interpret the Bible
- Geographical and historical background to the historical Jesus debate
- A survey of scholars who have recently constructed an historical Jesus - Barbara Thiering, Robert Eisenman, J Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg and John P Meier
