Recent years have seen an explosion of talk about the historical
Jesus from scholarly settings as well as media outlets (including
sensational TV documentaries and national magazines). How is the
student of the Bible to assess these various claims about Jesus?
And what difference does knowledge of his time and place make for
Christian faith, theological thinking, and historical research?
James Charlesworth presents the solid results of modern study into
the life and times of Jesus, especially regarding the role of the
Essenes, the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the nature of
messianic expectation, and much more. No one today is better
equipped than James Charlesworth to lead students through the
thickets of controversy that surround much of contemporary
historical Jesus research.
This Abingdon Essential Guide will fulfill the need for a brief,
substantive, yet highly accessible introduction to this core area
of New Testament studies. Drawing on the best in current
scholarship, written with the need of students foremost in mind,
addressed to learners in a number of contexts, this Essential Guide
will be the first choice of those who wish to acquaint themselves
or their students with the broad scope of issues, perspectives, and
subject matters relating to modern quests for the historical Jesus.
It will also be a preferred text for those who need or want to
refresh their knowledge regarding the context within which Jesus
lived in preparation for leading church discussion groups in
studies of the Gospels.
