The third quest for the historical Jesus has reached an impasse.
But a fourth quest is underway--one that draws from a heretofore
largely neglected source: John's Gospel. In this book, renowned New
Testament scholar Craig Blomberg advances the idea that John is a
viable and valuable source for studying the historical Jesus. The
data from John should be integrated with that of the Synoptics,
which will yield additional insights into Jesus's emphases and
ministry. Blomberg begins by reviewing the first three quests,
reassessing both their contributions and their shortcomings. He
then discusses the emerging consensus regarding demonstrably
historical portions of John, which are more numerous than usually
assumed. Peeling back the layers, we discover in Jesus's ministry
an emphasis on purity and purification. The Synoptics corroborate
this discovery, specifically in Jesus's meals with sinners.
Blomberg then explores the practical and contemporary applications
of Jesus the purifier, including the "contagious holiness" that
Jesus's followers can spread to others.
