"This is one of the most important books on methodological issues
in the study of Jesus and the Gospels to have appeared for a long
time. It deserves to be widely read."--Richard Bauckham, University
of St. Andrews
""The Jesus Legend" is the best book in its class. Eddy and Boyd
demonstrate mastery of the disciplines essential for critical
assessment of the Gospels and competent investigation of the
historical Jesus. I recommend this book in the highest
terms."--Craig A. Evans, Acadia Divinity College; author of
"Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels"
"A clearly written, carefully researched, and powerfully argued
defense of the historical reliability of the Synoptic Gospels. What
makes this book noteworthy is the careful treatment of underlying
issues in historical methodology and philosophy. A pleasure to read
and a wonderful resource for those who have encountered troubling
skeptical claims about the Gospels."--C. Stephen Evans, Baylor
University
"I am gratified that my friends and colleagues Paul Eddy and
Greg Boyd have taken my work as seriously as they have in this
comprehensively researched book. I urge any reader of my books to
read this one alongside them!"--Robert M. Price, Center for Inquiry
Institute and fellow of the Jesus Seminar
"Eddy and Boyd have provided a thoroughly compelling cumulative
argument--one of the very best available--for the reliability of
the Synoptic Jesus tradition. Their book constitutes a superb
treatment of the various issues, involving both fresh research and
a brilliant synthesis of material from a variety of relevant
disciplines."--Craig S. Keener, Palmer Seminary
"Eddy and Boyd have surveyed technical and popularwriting alike,
in meticulous detail, and present what can be concluded responsibly
about the trustworthiness of the Synoptic Gospels and the portraits
of Jesus they contain. They compile a detailed and erudite case
that supports Christian faith. Highly recommended!"--Craig L.
Blomberg, Denver Seminary
"Well-written and organized, containing a masterful command of
the literature. Eddy and Boyd show the difference between an open
historical investigation of the life of Jesus and much of today's
fictional writing that claims to be historical research concerning
the origin of Christianity. A very useful introduction for college
and seminary students."--Robert H. Stein, The Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary
