Excellent scholarly treatment of Jesus in historical context
|
|
This book provides a thorough review of Jesus scholarship in this century. Sanders then offers his own ideas. Sanders is a careful historian. He always provides facts to support his hypotheses. A refreshing contrast to the Jesus Seminar. This book is intentionally non-theological, i.e. ,it is NOT Christology nor does it advocate any dogmatic position. The casual reader will find it difficult. If you are not really into NT studies, get The Historical Figure of Jesus (same author). Fundamentalists will be offended.
