"An impressive volume. Levine, Allison, and Crossan have assembled
a group of experts who, by generously citing and carefully
analyzing primary sources, contextualize Jesus in the Jewish and
wider Greco-Roman world of his time. The essays cast a wide net and
collect a rich assortment of information for students of the
historical Jesus and the Gospels."--James C. Vanderkam, University
of Notre Dame, author of "The Dead Sea Scrolls"
"Textbooks are increasingly difficult to find for an
introductory class on Jesus of Nazareth. "The Historical Jesus in
Context" provides an anthology of important primary texts that are
set in context so that they illuminate what Jesus and his world was
like. The selections are judicious, the authors prominent, and the
potential for students illuminating."--Scot McKnight, author of
"The Jesus Creed"
"This is a source book to help all obtain their own conclusions,
by emphasizing that Jesus' own message must be grounded in the
original historical context. The task is not only imperative but
also demanded morally. No other book does this so well. It is
amazingly well done and well written."--James Charlesworth,
Princeton Theological Seminary
"This is a great collection and would certainly be of interest
to scholars and laypersons interested in the quest for the
historical Jesus. The selection of scholars is top notch, and the
notes and commentary for each source are strong."--Kathleen Corley,
University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh
