Jesus and the Gospels is one of the most popular religion
courses at colleges, and it is required at many seminaries and
divinity schools. This textbook, written by an award-winning
educator, is designed for a semester-long course in both these
settings. Moreover, it could be used as a supplementary text in
courses on christology, the historical Jesus, New Testament
literature, and the Bible.
Murphy will provide an introduction to the gospels that does
justice to the full range of modern critical methods and insights.
He will discuss the implications of these methods for how we
understand the nature of the gospels and how we can read them
today. The chapters will sketch the portrait of Jesus that emerges
from each gospel, and then examine the canonical view of Jesus by
comparing and contrasting these pictures, as well as the ones that
emerge from the non-canonical gospels and from the modern quest for
the historical Jesus.
