The earliest substantive sources available for historical Jesus
research are in the Gospels themselves; when interpreted in their
early Jewish setting, their picture of Jesus is more coherent and
plausible than are the competing theories offered by many modern
scholars. So argues Craig Keener in The Historical Jesus of the
Gospels. In exploring the depth and riches of the material found in
the Synoptic Gospels, Keener shows how many works on the historical
Jesus emphasize just one aspect of the Jesus tradition against
others, but a much wider range of material in the Jesus tradition
makes sense in an ancient Jewish setting. Keener masterfully uses a
broad range of evidence from the early Jesus traditions and early
Judaism to reconstruct a fuller portrait of the Jesus who lived in
history.
