The 2014 ECPA Christian Book Award Winner (Bible Reference) The
second edition of the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels is a
thoroughly reconstructed and revised version of the critically
acclaimed 1992 first edition. Since that groundbreaking volume was
published, a wave of Jesus and Gospel scholarship has crested and
broken on the shores of a new century. Jesus has been proposed as
sage, shaman, revolutionary, marginal Jew, Mediterranean peasant or
a prophet of Israel's restoration. The non-canonical Gospels have
been touted, examined and reassessed. There are revised
understandings of historiography, orality, form criticism, empire
and more. The second edition of the DJG amply weighs and assess the
gains and shortcomings of this new scholarship. Here is a
self-contained reference library of information and perspective
essential to exploring Jesus and the Gospels. This volume bridges
the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students and
interested readers who want thorough treatments of key topics in an
accessible and summary format. Articles cover each Gospel, major
themes in the Gospels, key episodes in the life of Jesus,
significant background topics, as well as issues and methods of
interpretation. Among other benefits, it allows multiple
opportunities for each of the Gospels to be weighed and heard in
its own voice. Bibliographies are full and up to date, putting
readers in touch with the best work in the field. All of this
allows the articles to serve as launching pads for further
research. When the first edition of the Dictionary of Jesus and the
Gospels was published, it was immediately recognized as an
innovative reference work. By taking a particular corpus of
biblical books and exploring it with in-depth articles written by
specialists in the field, it refashioned a staple reference genre.
This dictionary model has now been applied to each segment of the
biblical canon in successive volumes. Those who have enjoyed and
benefitted from the wealth in the first edition will find the
second edition an equally indispensable companion to study and
research. Over ninety percent of the articles have been completely
rewritten, and the rest thoroughly revised and updated. Here is the
doorway into a reliable and comprehensive summary and appraisal of
the last twenty years of Jesus scholarship. A new generation of
scholars has opened the way to make this aDictionary of Jesus and
the Gospels for the twenty-first century.
