After two millennia, Jesus remains as fascinating and compelling a
figure as ever, not only for Christian communities but also for
countless others in diverse contemporary cultures. In this fresh
introduction to Jesus and the Gospels, prominent scholar John T.
Carroll offers a thoughtful reading of the four Gospels, paying
close attention to narrative structure and rhetorical strategies,
with an appreciation of the contexts that shaped and continue to
shape their interpretation. Informed by the best recent
scholarship, Carroll's clear and accessible presentation examines
the connections between the Gospels and contemporary life and the
challenges these narratives might present to twenty-first century
readers. Introductory students will appreciate the use of call-out
boxes throughout the book that highlight important points and
themes. This engaging volume will introduce Jesus and the Gospels
to a whole new generation of readers in the culturally and
religiously plural world of today. Instructor and Student Resources
